Idiotic sport of Zorbing claims life as it veers offcourse and plunges down ravine. I leave it to you as to whether you want to watch this NSFW
I've marked it not safe for work, just in case. It's not gory, just watching an inflatable ball careen down a snowy slope. But one bloke inside died and the other has serious injuries. Russian resort, russian website with vid

oh shit.
I passed up the opportunity to do that once.

There wasn't a ravine nearby, though. I think that's something to check for first.

There goes my zorbing zombie survival theory...
...Can't say the run they've made looks particularly professional. Would have thought the sides would have had to be much bigger.

In Russia you can go down a ravine in a truck and get out and walk away,
but go down a ravine in a giant inflatable ball and it's curtains for you.

I think it was going over the cliff and into the ravine that probably did it actually.

there must be some dashcam footage from within the ball, surely.

who died?
Was it the attractive girl or the melancholic man she was wearing as a rucksack?

There'd've been fewer deaths
if they were all carrying guns.

You're a very bad man.

Why?
If I was genuinely bad, I'd've said "less deaths". Now that would've been bad.

Your logic is correct, though.
If they had guns they'd have shot the ball, deflating it. problem solved.
Ok, you might actually kill someone but if they would die anyway, worth the risk.
