Have you ever 'Zorbed'?

The idea of it sounds fun.

You get in a big air cushioned ball and roll down hill.

How cool is that?
There seems to be a Murphy's Law though,

Russia probes deadly ‘zorb ball’ accident

Denis Burakov, 27, died of his injuries after he and a friend, Vladimir Shcherbov, 33, paid to roll in the zorb down an unfenced snow slope at a ski resort in the Karachayevo-Cherkessia region of the North Caucasus.

“We have launched a criminal case into causing death through providing unsafe services,” said Sergei Shuvayev, spokesman for the regional investigative committee. The charge carries a maximum prison sentence of six years.

The zorb veered off a snowy track and rolled into a gorge, continuing for around a kilometre before stopping on a frozen lake, investigators said. The accident occurred on January 3.

Oops, No Zorbing in my future.

I clicked on your link, the result of which was a pop-up that offered me a free copy of a Chomsky book.

I'm going to have to burn this laptop now.

You don't need a parachute to skydive....but you do need one to skydive twice

That would be terrifying. You really have no control over where the ball goes unless you are on a well designed course. I for one always want to know where the balls are going.

I did it. I wore the t-shirt.

It was neat. Not neat enough to do twice however.

The key to the ride not resembling a washing machine is water inside the inner sphere. Or some other non freezing liquid (as conditions require).
