Is Zorbing Really Safe?

Nothing beats the experience of rolling down a hill in a zorb ball. It is fun, but most people have concern about its safety. Any activity that involves high speeds or tight spaces may come with a risk and we have to be aware of it.

Is zorbing dangerous?

So, is zorbing dangerous? Zorbing is a less dangerous extreme sport because its risks depend largely on the judgement of the riders. Zorbing is a relatively safe activity as long as the zorb ball is fully inflated and the rider carefully selects the right environment for rolling.

Did anyone die in zorbing?

As with many recreational activities, some people fall victim to unusual incidents, and that is often the result of disregard for safety. That must have been the case at the Russian ski resort in 2013, when two men with their zorb balls skied down a ski hill and unfortunately veered to the side of the mountain. One of them suffered spinal injuries and died on the way to the hospital. It was later reported that there should be nets on the fringes. This is largely the fault of Russia’s poor regulation of ski resorts, a tragedy that could have been easily avoided. In fact, there is hardly any information about other zorbing related incidents. Zorbing is considered the safest activity, although there may be other reasons for this.

Zorbing has become a very popular activity for families, even those with young children. Rolling down hills at high speeds may seem dangerous, but these balls are designed to protect those inside. Keeping the ball inflated and secured in the straps where applicable, zorbing will be an enjoyable and safe activity for you.
