He was on the Red Force, a vertical rollercoaster which reaches speeds of 180 kilometres per hour within five seconds of take-off at Barcelona's Ferrari Land and stands around 12 metres above the ground.
Its sudden acceleration and plummeting to terra firma is supposed to give passengers a close idea of how it feels to be behind the wheel of a Formula 1 racing car.
