What is ZORBING?

A thrilling recreational activity involving rolling down slopes in a clear, inflatable (air-cushioned) plastic sphere that oriiginated from New Zealand. Zorbing is suitable for both children and adults.

Safety!: Zorbing is made up of 2 layers: 
1)the outer layer
2)inner layer.
3)In between the two layers are supported with nylon cods that stretch 360 degrees around.
So safety is not an issue at all.
