One man died and another was badly injured after the Zorb they were strapped into got away from handlers at the Dombai ski resort in Abkhazia, and rolled into a gorge.

According to Russian state media, Denis Burakov, 27, and Vladimir Shcherbov, 33, were inside the sphere when it suddenly veered off course and ended up nearly a mile away beside a frozen lake.

Their harrowing ordeal was caught on at least two cameras, and an amalgam of both was uploaded to the Internet on Sunday. The footage shows two men attempting to prevent the Zorb from heading down the mountain slope, to no avail. Click below for full story -
