On the topic of snuff. This is not snuff. Snuff will show the actual death of a person in visceral detail and is made for that purpose only. Showing the precursor to a horrific accident is not by any means a snuff film. While we know that someone dies off camera several minutes later, the video was not posted to show "death" and the glorious nature of death. Rather this video was posted by the friends of the deceased as a warning to people thinking of zorbing in the future.

OK, this has been posted twice as snuff and removed - then it keeps coming back.

It technically is snuff - even if you don't see the Graphic final impact.
"According to reddit comments this was fatal: Apparently one person died and the other is in critical condition."

"Mr Burakov was still alive when rescuers reached him, a long time later, suffering from a broken neck and spine, however he died on the way to the hospital.

Lucky to survive, his companion Mr Shcherbov was hospitalised with concussion and multiple lacerations to the head and body.

Zorb / Zorbing / Human Hamster Ball

Here is a clip of one that uses two shells to make a ball and hides inside it rolling down a hill:

i wonder if you could find something to ride down it on... but the angle is not designed.... to avoid an impact compression..

maybe a huge piece of foam/inflatable..? but you would probably get hurt more when the force transferred through the device... I think you would need.. something with such a large surface area and angled shape... that you would risk taking flight on the way down!

one of those manta ray things people fly on behind speedboats would be really crazy to watch on this thing!! if you made it, you would probably just totally pop it.. but it could lessen the impact... for one person for one ride...



if you insisted on using this 'slide'...starting at a lower height would seem the easiest way to avoid everlasting spine/hip/back trauma.

ooh, what about those crazy huge inflatable balls



but again you would probably do worse at the end if you were unrestrained inside... need to do it with a custom foam layer all around you... i think we may have a solution minus the potential to pop it! that would require a really well made zorb...

so: Kevlar Zorb with Memory Foam Encapsulation Module + Canal + team to remove you before you drown = WIN!

I'm sorry but this has already been sifted: http://www.videosift.com/video/Reporting-On-Zorbing-She-Did-Not-See-This-Coming

So *discard

Up vote purely because it involves a Zorb. Zorbs are super fun.

The real question is wtf was she doing.
"Action Zorb!"
*Awkward look*
"Cheers Mattie, just like the movie..."

My friends are I cant figure out why they were sending a ZORB at her?
Was it supposed to like roll past her? Because they are a bad shot if it was...

CUE ZORB!
