After I'd had a few goes and I'd had been chatting with the main guy a bit he asked if I fancied getting run over by one, so I went and I laid down as one came down the hill, it didn't hurt at all it was a bit weird. It's definitely not a dangerous activity and they don't half-fill the ball, there's just a puddle at the bottom to help you slip around a bit. I recommend it to anyone up for a bit of fun on a hot day. I went zorbing at that place, it was great fun, the people who ran it were really nice as well.

If it were a Latin word then it probably would probably be a mass noun and would not have a plural, see the Wikipedia discussion on the plural of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_of_virus" rel="nofollow">virus</a> The plural of Zorbus is Zorbuses. End of rant. Sorry to take the quibbling further, but surely Zorbus it is an English not a Latin word.

I propose that as a "Zorb" is the sphere into which you climb that the plural is in fact "Zorbs". @Ambarish: Thanks, saved me job there.
