The Experience
With no harnesses, you are completely free inside a 12' inflatable ball, as you and a friend slip and slide around inside the ball in your swimming trunks with thirty litres of water. Instead of being thrown around with the ball you link your arms with your fellow victim and slide together down a hill, riding the water.
The general reaction people make is to laugh hysterically as they descend the hill (rolling and bouncing) at up to 35 miles per hour! There is actually no reason to be scared, our instructors will watch your safety the whole time.
