zorbing

Ball descent recreation

Zorbing is rolling downhill inside a large transparent plastic ball, typically with a cushion of air or water between the rider and the outer shell.

The activity originated in New Zealand as a commercial attraction: We went zorbing on our vacation.

The ball itself is sometimes called a zorb.
