Alpine Slide wins!!!
Actually the one pictured was in Austria. It was fairly safe, no coming off the track but you could run into the guy in front of you.

The one I rode outside Munich on the other hand was quite dangerous. It wasn't on rails and I actually fell over at high speed and had to quickly get back on track as someone was coming not to far behind. I had a nice bit of road rash on my elbow from the fall.
