Back away from the roller coaster

SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) -- Cameron Brady is taking on the twists and turns of nonprofit fundraising.
The self-named "Wacky Stunt Guy" wants to raise as much as $25,000 while spending 18 hours aboard the Serpent roller coaster at Kokomo's Family Fun Center in Saginaw County's Kochville Township, about 88 miles northwest of Detroit.
Saginaw's Habitat for Humanity development manager tells The Saginaw News that he plans to ride the coaster from 6 a.m. to midnight Friday.
Each ride lasts about two minutes and Brady could complete as many as 250 laps. He expects to complete about 15 laps every hour.
The stunt will benefit Habitat for Humanity, the MidMichigan Children's Museum, the Salvation Army, Teen Challenge and Junior Achievement.
The coaster opens Saturday to the public.

I had to read that article a couple times before I understood it, but that is beside the point. The only thing you need to know is that some crazy dude in Michigan is going to ride a roller coaster for 18 hours. How he came up with that number is beyond me. But its stupid. And pointless. And nobody should do something that ridiculous even if it is for a good cause.
