Zorbing is the latest extreme sport from New Zealand. It

involves rolling around in a ball or zorb three meters in diameter. It requires no more skill than a hamster running in its wheel as centrifugal force keeps the zorbonaut pinned inside the zorb. Although zorbonauts roll downhill at speed of 50 km per hour, the air cushioning inside means they do not risk hurting themselves too seriously.

BUNGEE JUMPING

Bungee jumping /ˈbʌndʒiː/ is a very extreme sport that involves

jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the ground. When the person jumps, the cord stretches and the jumper flies upwards again until all the energy is dissipated.
