Zorbing
To "zorb" is to strap oneself into an over-sized hamster exercise ball and roll down a hill. The zorb is actually constructed with two plastic inflatable balls, one inside the other, in order to cushion impact. Zorbs typically hold between one and three people. Some people put water inside the ball so as they roll down the hill they are splashed relentlessly.
