"Zorbing is a recreational activity developed in the 1990s that consists of rolling downhill inside of a usually transparent, double-hulled sphere called a zorb, made from PVC.

Zorbing originated in New Zealand as the brainchild of Dwane van der Sluis and Andrew Akers. In 1994 they conceived the idea of the spheres in Auckland, New Zealand, and invented the term zorb.

The inside of the original zorb has 9 straps to keep the rider in place. Variations include strapless hydro zorbs where water is added for an experience somewhat like a water chute. The latter variation can be ridden with two or three other zorbonauts.

Zorbing has spread to England, the mountains of Norway, the middle of Sweden, the Gold Coast in Australia, the alpine hills of Switzerland, and to China, Argentina, and Japan. It also recently appeared in India.

At least two USA locations have zorbing: SphereMania, which operates in Michigan, and Smoky Mountains in Tennessee "
