Scary Zorb ride to death. -Abraham Correa

On January 3, a 27 year old man named Denis Burakov, tried to have some fun with his friends by riding a zorb (a big plastic ball, human sized, used to ride down in a very scary manner) but sadly went off course and fell into a deep gorge in North Causasus. A friend, waiting at the bottom, desperately tried to stop it but the zorb kept going (He was injured too). The victim finally stopped on the ice of a frozen lake. His injuries of the fall caused his death. Authorities highly think it was caused because of unsafe services.

    It is important to think before we act and think of all the possible dangers. This a terrible thing to happen.

    Poor guy. He just wanted fun, but this shows how safety comes first.

    When injuries, and in this case, death is involved, the safety of this ride really needs to be reconsidered.
