Okay, so those guys went for a rocket ride. Doesn't look good. Any write up about this incident? Might just have a couple of Ruski's who were really dizzy and puked their brains out.

Amazing how people just tries anything.... Yes I read that one died, the other was pretty badly injured.

no sympathy for darwin awardees.

WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?!

The article states that there was a safety net that was supposed to stop them. Instead it ripped and let the ball roll on down the mountain. I can't blame the people in the ball. They thought they were doing something fun. Obviously safety was a questionable term in this case.

I wonder if at any point they took a look at what they were about to do and thought to themselves, "This is a bad idea." I saw the potential for disaster before they even let the ball go down the slope.
