Except they'd never allow it in the US. Too many idiots/lawyers.
That looks fun as hell, now what could go wrong

A number of ski hills in the US have installed those kinds of rides. Here's one example: http://www.spiritmt.com/alpine-coaster/index.html

Brekenridge Co has one. It was fun, but not like on snow.
Park City, UT has one too, and it's a side-by-side, so you can race your friends. I think I've almost died on it at least a dozen times in my life...
Action Park in Northern NJ used to have something similar. You sat in a plastic car with the only control being a centre handle to brake.. and then you zipped down a concrete lined half tube to the bottom of the hill.
I remember getting a fair bit of air on some of the bumps
They got one at Bromley Mtn in Vermont
