zorb

Giant hamster ball

A zorb is a large transparent plastic ball that a person climbs inside and rolls down a hill or across water, tumbling freely within the sphere.

Zorbing emerged as a recreational activity in New Zealand in the 1990s.

The verb zorb means to ride in one: We went zorbing on our trip to Rotorua.
