Inflatable Ball on Russian Ski Slope
 

This did briefly look like a nice idea :error

A Google Translate from here http://mreporter.ru/reports/23307

"Instructors do not keep track of Zorba and he flew down the hill, the second boy took off from Zorb, one guy was lying no visible signs of life, the other crawled up the slope and stopped 10 meters, rescuers were getting very long time (well, as rescue workers, with two skiers first-aid kits, because we have not seen no medical snowmobiles, nothing). On the slope where the run Zorb had no fences, the same ride skiers and children on sleds."

Unconfirmed reports going around that at least one of the guys is dead

those poor bastards.. so close to catching him too

god i know it's a darwin award.. but how close it came to working out makes it kinda sad

Yeah there was a moment when I thought that one guy had got hold of them, but by the end of the video that zorb is bouncing at high speed down the mountain :Oh crap

i stopped it as soon as the video goes down.. i didn't realize he kept filming

RIP

"I know two guys who have been in this ball! one of them died, with multiple injuries had not time to save him, the other survived, barely walk! now in the hospital! both guys from Pyatigorsk, both positive person! Denis who died, he was only 27 years old! very sorry for him, remember, love and sorrow! Eternal memory to you!"

gravity is one of the only fears we are born with

looks fun as fuck

Is this the Russian Redneck version of "Hey! Watch this!"?

:winkwink:

I wounder what speed they reached

WTF did they expect to happen?

This has "horrible idea" written all over it.

well that looked inevitable.

Holy fuck... That's a STUPID idea... wtf...
Darwin at work...

Vodka, probably....

next time they can jump from airplane without parachute. no comment

very bad idea.

Bye! (hopefully)

omg the stupidity - what would be the cause of death though?

Stupidity.

Holy Shit! The last 15 seconds of that video is crazy!

I think it's a different guy from another location, yep seems to get bad in a matter of Seconds :2 cents:

That's a good question, I've heard of people getting nasty injuries just from being inside these on a controlled slope, I'm imagine at some point this will be on the Russian news with an explanation now that it's gone viral. :2 cents:

Yep, that's where it gets crazy! :helpme

What a way to go. :(

This was the nice bit, nobody was down the mountain videoing the worst bit.

wow darwin award material!

Inevitable indeed :upsidedow

It'll be a hard one to beat :2 cents:

oh my, that must of been ....
