Anyone ever tried this?

It looks like some kind of socially-distance 5-aside

It's called Zorb football, was around before Covid. Tried it once and thought it was shit.

Kids went in something similar, but on water, in a theme park a few years back.

Never done it but plenty of mates have.  Said the first 5 mins is hilarious, then it quickly becomes boring.

Go google head injuries from Zorb.

Bloody hell They ways people can find to injure themselves!

I was not involved. I just happened to see it as I walked by. Next time I might call for an ambulance Actually they were just across the motorway - maybe 500 metres - from the Karolinska hospital so possibly not the worst location

It's fair to say that I wasn't any good at it.

Old school friend of mine made a killing from these a couple of years ago when they first become popular. Would rent them out for birthday parties/stags etc. Believe it or not Goals didn't own any for about 6 months so he used to rent his to them every weekend. They soon wised up and made the investment because it only took 3 lots of renting for him to get his money back and then it was pure profit for doing nothing.

I've done it once at halftime between Wellington Phoenix and Perth Glory.
I've had a few that day and decided not to care about the ball, but just to attack one of the other players over and over again. (He wore a Chef Wendy shirt).
