Dude that's sick!! Lol how do you not fly off the track? I mean the cart itself?

It looks like the carts have the wheels that hold them to a track from underneath and/or the sides of the track rails. Kind of like coaster cars on the big coasters at the amusement parks.

For any that have never seen them...the old style (well...actually I think there are still a few around) alpine slide were just a cement track, similar to a bobsled track, with little wheeled carts. The rider has a brake handle they can control the speed with.

I'd imaging the insurance liability anymore is too much for most of 'em as it's very easy to get 'em going to fast and have this happen:
