What not to do on your ski trip!

Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:47:46 GMT

One person was killed and another seriously injured in a Zorb in a ski resort in Russia. A Zorb is a large inflatable ball that you get strapped into and are then rolled down a hill. Apparently, they have become a popular feature in ski resorts in Russia.

Unfortunately, in this case, the Zorb veered off course and ended up going over a cliff :x

Here is a link to a news story about the incident:

You can see it all on video on Youtube and other video websites :shock:

That is awful, the video isn't graphic but still is pleasant as you know what is going on.

I'm guessing that wouldn't be cover on your travel insurance?

I'm not sure I could do that anyway, I'm too claustrophobic, but from the video, there was no safety cover: no fencing, no helpers spaced at intervals; absolutely nothing
