    In my home village we have a much safer and much better version of it:

    You can accelerate yourself by just pulling at the plate in the middle, meaning that everyone can have fun and you can probably get much higher speeds.

      Back in my day, we walked for miles uphill in the snow to school, we rode the unprotected meatspin, broke all of our bones, and then we walked for miles uphill back home. Kids these days are so spoiled and pampered!!!

      Exactly you can use the railing to hang on the outside. Greater speed and much more fun.
