Zorbing: An extreme sport in which you are strapped into a hug plastic ball and are then launched off a hillside.   Aficionados of the sport; called Zorbonauts, enjoy the thrill of rocketing down the hill in an uncontrollable but completely safe air cushion.  The PVC ball referred to as a Zorb, looks like a giant beach ball around 3 metres in diameter.  The cockpit is an inner ball which can accommodate up to 3 Zorbonaurts. (MacMillan English Dictionary)
