Apparently, it ended very badly.

MOSCOW (AP) — What was supposed to be a thrilling ride down a ski slope inside a giant inflatable ball has ended in tragedy for the two Russian men inside.
One died and the other was badly injured when the transparent plastic ball — called a zorb — veered off course and sailed over a precipice in the rugged Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia.
The men's terrifying ride — captured on video — prompted the head of the national emergency rescue services Wednesday to demand on that Russia address its lax enforcement of safety rules for winter sports, citing a series of accidents over the January holidays.
The sport of zorbing originated in the 1990s in New Zealand and is now done around the world.

How is that shit a sport? Where's the skill in sitting in a bubble and rolling down a hill?

Someone needs to turn that into an "they see me rolling" meme...
