It looks like the entire run took about 30 seconds. When I was younger, some friends had something like this, but it was not homebuilt, it was more like a commercially available slide, with a cart and tubular rails instead of metal sheet.

My brothers and I built our own Tower of Doom.
An open second-story window in my brother’s bedroom, and a bean-bag chair in the front yard.

They might want to get in touch with this guy in Italy, who can upgrade that wooden coaster to metal.
