ive wanted to do this since i first saw it on an episode of road rules like 10 years ago. remember that? anyone. i dunno what season, either 6 or 8.

So, it's like one of those barrels with the nails on the inside - except without the nails, and the barrel.

It looks like fun.

For some reason that looks like fun! I would try it.

[sgreger1]

Lol, that looks sweet. Are you suspended in a matrix of some sort or are you just loose inside the inner bubble?

[daruckis]

i believe you and either hold on to the inside and roll down, or they can put water in it and you slide along it as you go down.

I watched an expose on this recently. I want to try it too, but I think my fat ass will hit the ground.

From what I've seen there is a ball inside of a ball. This is, of course, for the cushion otherwise I'd surmise it would be uber-dangerous. You climb in through a door that gets zipped up. Might be hot in there but then again you're not spending much time in it.

In several malls around the area there are single layer balls you can climb into that float in a shallow pool. Again, I think I would exceed the weight requirement therefore render it un-fun. I think it's supposed to be like a huge hamster wheel but I'd get traction from the bottom of the pool. Interesting though.

I was thinking of the barrel roll too, ala 2000 Maniacs.
