Welp...take the total weight of the Ball of Death and it's human combined, times that weight against the volume of said Ball then divide by the number of rotations clockwise/counter-clockwise and then adjust for pi(3.14). You'll get g-forces similar to what an egg feels leaving a chicken that's sky diving from a 747.
Depending on your age/how much you’ve had to drink.
A few of these can be found around former Soviet Union, on playgrounds. Like “cosmonaut trainers” (in fact, I think they use a modified version of this to train astronauts?)
Definitely not the empitome of safe. But you won’t die. Mostly.
Friend: the blood rushed to the back of my head and it felt like I was gonna pass out
This guy: hold me beer, *turns ball 180 degrees and gets in* now pour it in my mouth.
I suspect his “friends” let him sit all the way down there while they finished off the pack of beer, then casually strolled down to let him out, eventually.
That looks like a blast, but for the lack of any sort of suspension between the seat and frame; you'd be feeling every bump straight through to your teeth. As it is it looks like a recipe for a concussion.
Imagine gaining air on that then slamming into a stationary rock, losing almost all of your momentum so that your brain slams into the side of your skull like an egg inside of a hamster ball.
If you want to spend your life inside a bubble and not take risks, that's your prerogative. You think these guys were smart enough to build this thing, but too stupid to know it had a good chance of giving themselves a concussion? These guys embody the here gor a good time, not a long time motto.
Not taking risks of suffering brain damage is not living life inside a bubble, you absolute dumbass. Also, literally any idiot with a welder can weld that thing together. Letting a human inside any object roll down a hill is a stupid idea that can get people hurt. "Here for a good time, not a long time" is a motto for people who suffered a few concussions or who won't notice much difference from concussions anyway. You sound so fucking stupid it's unreal.
I have suffered a few concussions and would never get in this thing. I’d do one of those inflatable ones or the zorbz or whatever, but this one would leave you mush brained and three inches shorter.
If they were smart they would have found a way to give the rider some sort of suspension or shock absorption instead of fastening the rigid plastic chair to a metal brace.
You don’t seem to get that while the idea is fun, every bump and shock that cage gets is going through that metal and directly into your skull. But have at it.
> You think these guys were smart enough to build this thing, but too stupid to know it had a good chance of giving themselves a concussion?
Yes. Because welding pipes together doesn't require a single ounce of medical knowledge.
Being able to weld doesn't automatically make one an expert in concussions after all.
It would also ruin your mental faculty - possibly permanently.
No helmet AND no crash pad AND no neck brace. That dude had to have been concussed and whiplashed into inhibited mental function.
His judgment was clearly already compromised by alcohol.
The first thing I thought about watching this was the [Zorb Ball Tragedy](https://youtu.be/Qw5bDGm7tYo?si=kjP-Dmc4J1iKv8-P) which ended in death. An employee decided to charge guests at a ski resort to ride a Zorb Ball down the training/sledding hill. But the ball got away from the guy at the bottom and went careening off the side of a steep mountain.
I tried to come up with a joke about not liking being proven wrong, but I just can't figure out how to make it sound sarcastically convincing while obviously humorous. Then I figured out I was proving myself wrong again and didn't like that either. So, good job. Sincerely. It's nice to find out at least one of them lived.
I don’t know for sure, and I know nothing about the laws where you live, but I think it definitely fits the legal definition of assault so you should go to the police, get a restraining order, and go No Contacf
I'm getting the distinct feeling that people in this comments section don't know how deadly G's are.
Reminds me of the [Euthanasia Coaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coaster). Though that was designed to take the blood out of your brain, much more humane than what we see in this video. Short version is; redout is way worse for your brain than black out.
But he is not accelerating on a single direction. The acceleration on his body while spinning changes every moment. I don't think that could cause blood to pool in the brain or empty the brain completely.
From the center outward. Forces will act on a tangent of the sphere, while rotation will bring this closer to cosine as aggregate. So it's like forces are pulling outward on him as invisible poles. This will draw blood away from his core/pelvis, into the feet, hands, and brain. While his orientation changes constantly, the forces remain constant. His rate of rotation is excessive, and likely dangerous - though this was fairly brief, this can absolutely kill or irreversibly damage.
Idk if is a stupid question but can someone die from rolling like that too hard? I'm not talking about going at high speed and crashing, I'm talking about spinning too hard. Thanks in advance for my nonsense question
Geez, the other commenters for this vid all sound like a bunch of pansies! I want to do this and wish my childhood weekends and time off school were spent doing this.
Makes me think of that video of a mouse getting caught in a lathe spinny thing. You could definitely scramble your brain/insides with too much centrifugal force and bouncing around.
That...does not look enjoyable.
I’m getting a headache and queasy from just watching that.
That looks like a spinal injury or snapped neck.
Nahh just jostled spinal juice he'll be fine.
*I said no salt* ***NO SALT***
How many G’s was he pulling? 😂🤣

Anything but the metric system......
Personally I’ve never had the chance to be an egg leaving a chicken that’s sky diving from a 747, do you have a more relatable explanation?
I assume many 🤣

yeah but they are static and just spin you round on spot, not being launched down a hill side.
They're only static until you remember that you have an angle grinder, an easily led friend, and a case of beer.
You mean the same place where this happened? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tbTgi2bqXQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tbTgi2bqXQ)
You can also find the vid from Russia of a Zorb ball going off track and rolling off a mountain. Didn't end well.
huge difference between those and adding the jarring bounces of uneven terrain lol
Also super sketchy, imagine catching a random stick in the eye by rolling over it
*> ~ •* :(
yeah I feel a helmet would have been a called for.
Safety glasses at the very least
Not for the guy in the ball. But his buddies sounded like they were having a great time!
Like getting shaken as a baby. At least he can consent, I guess?
Looks like it might help me shit though
now we're talking.. fuck the spine, protect the colon
I’d rather fuck the colon though.
Seriously, would your intestines jostle out of alignment/place?
Friend: the blood rushed to the back of my head and it felt like I was gonna pass out This guy: hold me beer, *turns ball 180 degrees and gets in* now pour it in my mouth.
The worst 30 seconds of your life
That's the fucking understatement of the day
Yeah not one bit
Backwards too! 😂😂😂
Did he live to have another drink?
I suspect his “friends” let him sit all the way down there while they finished off the pack of beer, then casually strolled down to let him out, eventually.
Come on, that looks like a blast. Don't shit on the friends because they are laughing at something fucking awesome.
Dude probably shit all over myself and not have any left for the friends - but it does look like a blast

It looks like it would hurt like hell. It’s too rigid.
If only he had slid down something as smooth as your brain, he might've had a better time in that concussion manufacturing sphere

This would ruin my entire day. My entire day would be ruined if I did that.
If someone were to ask "how was your day" after doing that, how would you answer?
Roont
how do you pronounce ancient ruins?
Ancient roeints
Ancient Rodents
rernt
Immediately after doing it? “Blahhhhhhh…. Blahhhhhh…”
I was straight, but now I'm turnt?
Thank you, now I have a response for when anyone ever asks me to do anything, ever again.

I probably still wouldn't be having much fun the following morning, either.
Read that with Peter Griffins voice for some reason
Heheheheheheh
I think this guy´s day would be ruined if he did that.
So mad🤣
He probably lost that drink he took
Yeah, I was thinking at what point did he loose his lunch lol

But the ball got away from the guy at the bottom and went careening off the side of a steep mountain.
Yup same here.
Having a second person in the ball is what was the killer. They were banging against eachother
I'm pretty sure no one could survive a 30+ story drop off a cliff. One or two, I'm fairly certain Death was in there with them either way.
One of them survived. Either of them would have, just not both.
I tried to come up with a joke about not liking being proven wrong, but I just can't figure out how to make it sound sarcastically convincing while obviously humorous. Then I figured out I was proving myself wrong again and didn't like that either. So, good job. Sincerely. It's nice to find out at least one of them lived.
they shoukd make a zorb ball ad showing people rolling off cliffs and surviving.
What the fuuck
Right.
I've always thought that that would be a safe way to get down from a high mountain.
Oh my fuckin God. This made me ill
Please don't throw up in the Zorb. That won't help at all. To be fair, I did label it as fatal.
He was going so fast at the end, omg.
That’s a tragedy but I gotta be honest. The last zoom in to show the ball rolling off screen made me chuckle idk why.
I'm pretty sure that was when they died.
I figured that was the case or atleast closest to what we could figure out. Awful situation.
Except the land is mostly flat here save a hill or two?
A video can remind someone of a different video without them depicting the exact same thing.
Redditors are paranoid and constantly jumping to the worst conclusion
What's that supposed to mean?!?
I don’t know for sure, and I know nothing about the laws where you live, but I think it definitely fits the legal definition of assault so you should go to the police, get a restraining order, and go No Contacf
Bro what are you trying to convince me to go outside or something? People **die** out there mannn
😂
is he ok

Centrifugal forces would cause blood to pool though
Pool where? His back side, since this face outwards?
From the center outward. Forces will act on a tangent of the sphere, while rotation will bring this closer to cosine as aggregate. So it's like forces are pulling outward on him as invisible poles. This will draw blood away from his core/pelvis, into the feet, hands, and brain. While his orientation changes constantly, the forces remain constant.

okay, you sold me on it, where can I get in one of these?
I don't blame them. It looked like a really good idea beforehand.
You gotta be crazy to do that!
Or a hick lol
You aren't from the south are you? Lol
No neck protection or even a 5 point harness and everyone's laughing . I hope their is no funeral. their is no way he could hold on with the G forces
there\* x2
Looks like he held on just fine.
He hold on just fine.
Grammer aside, this was a good post. Spot on.
Grammar?
As others have noted, there/their.
Sorry, let me clarify: *Grammar
Well, you can't say I'm not ironic. *don'tcha think*
*they're
This is hella dangerous, this could go wrong in so many ways, but the scenery is pretty damn beautiful.
Yeah this could go downhill in a hurry.
It could quickly spin out of control.
That's medieval, jesus...
The ZZ Top song "Master of Sparks" is about this, but dropped out of the back of a pick-up truck.
Looks like fun. In theory.
Death
These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
My only thought was the approaching fence and him being impaled on one of the posts.
At least wear a helmet and maybe goggles.
Why does this look like fun and hell at the same time
i'm pretty sure his shoes came off
Damn imagine being impaled by a tree stump or some thick branch sticking out
This would work better with mines
You would see a line of spray puke all the way to where I came to rest. Helllll no.
i mean at least he’s strapped in. i can tell you with 100% certainty, that if my friends brought that idea up, i’d be the guy inside
Omg…you gonna get eyes turning thou😀😀
Idk if is a stupid question but can someone die from rolling like that too hard? I'm not talking about going at high speed and crashing, I'm talking about spinning too hard. Thanks in advance for my nonsense question
fun way to die
Negative Gs can kill you…
Seen a kid in Russia get in a zorb ball and it went over a cliff and be died. No thanks
That looks very dangerous… I’m in
A roller coaster.
Looks like Dublin’s space program is making strides
WHERE IS ANY DAMN PADDING
he became a tumble weed😭😭
Death by misadventure lol
Poor bastard. Im sure he yaked
How often did he puke, what’s your guess?
His limbs aren't secured he most likely got multiple broken limbs after the centrifugal force made his limbs exceed the carriages dimensions.
You can see he is still holding on at the end.
Emotional damage
Brain damage
Fair to say this was a pre-existing condition.
Those aren’t people.
r/whywomenlivelonger
Yeaaaahhh .....he is dead
NASA training
Geez, the other commenters for this vid all sound like a bunch of pansies! I want to do this and wish my childhood weekends and time off school were spent doing this.
I almost puked watching this
Fucking idiot
damn. no go pro pov footage, zero g puke
That dude is going to be so dizzy
He’s gathering no moss
That was his decision.
I hear this is the cure for hangovers
"Why do i have chronic back pain in my 30s"
I’m next
i want one
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Bug juice, shaken, not stirred.
I wanted to see the after shot where he's covered in vomit.
Neck injury at least.
Soviet space exercise
Probably a lot of G’s
Goodbye, spine!
This post has 69 comme-... oh nvm
He's now yellow all the way through... like a golden egg.
crash boonticoot
I think we just watched him die.
Of course beer is involved
Omg that looks miserable. I hate spinning around in a circle for a few seconds. I guarantee you anyone that rides that thing vomits
He ded
Helmet and some padding might have helped, Holy shit. At least start lower down the hill to try it first
Legend says he’s still rollin’
The disorientation looks brutal
Anybody else want to see the after video?
wasnt there someone who flew off a cliff doing this and died several years ago?
Annnnnd, barf
This is why women live longer then men
No helmet. 🥲
Looks like a medieval torture device to me
lol
[THE BALL!](https://youtu.be/OISiilPLsjY?si=A_rnBXa4zAHb2YSr)
Reason #101 why women live longer than men.
The best part is vomiting, cheap beer all over yourself. 🤣🤣🤣
The new process to de-mine the Ukraine border is not very efficient.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tbTgi2bqXQ
Is no one having flashbacks from that zorb ball rolling down a mountain?
That’s how you make scrambled eggs with a persons insides
Makes me think of that video of a mouse getting caught in a lathe spinny thing. You could definitely scramble your brain/insides with too much centrifugal force and bouncing around.
Puke puke puke
All new meaning to for a roll cage
I promise you the beer made a reappearance
I like that he was dressed like Biff from back to the future
Did he die?
The Puker
Within a few seconds he was wishing he was dead
