What Is A Zorb Ball Like?

The picture shows a huge plastic ball being placed on the grass. Many people don't know what this sphere is being used for or even what it is called. Today, let's talk about this topic.

What is this giant ball called and what is it used for?

The zorb ball is also known as the human hamster ball, the human foam ball or the OGO (outdoor gravity ball). It is a sphere made of clear plastic and is used for an activity called zorbing. As for zorbing, a person can fit inside such a sphere, roll down a slope to play, run on water or even be pulled by a jet ski.

Structure of the human hamster ball

The ball is made up of two parts, one inside the other, with a layer of air in between. The two are connected by an intricate network of nylon threads. Sometimes there can be more than 300 separate threads connecting them. This structure prevents the rider from being injured because it acts like a shock absorber and dampens the bumps during the ride. In contrast to the original hamster ball, which is made of a rigid material, the human hamster ball is made of a soft, malleable plastic and is very light. The thickness of the plastic is usually around 0.8 mm (0.03 in).

How large is a zorb ball?

The usual size of a zorb ball is about 3 metres (10 feet) in diameter. However, on one occasion Nissan crammed one of their cars inside a huge custom-made zorb ball and rolled it down a hill for advertising in the name of safety. Anyway, for the more common balls, the size of the inner ball is usually 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches). The area of approximately 50 cm (20 inches) between the two balls forms the air cushion. The outer and inner balls are connected by a nylon cord. Usually a zorb ball has one or two tunnel entrances.
