I'm laughing my head off at that clip of Jimmy Savile fondling that girl on Top Of The Pops circa 1974......... I hope she saw the funny side of it......... anyway, no harm done........

He was Russian, don't lose any sleep over it.

Looks like something Russians would do. I remember reading about their WW2 experiments with airborne troops deployment without parachutes (didn't have enough) with airplanes flying low over fields. They expected 40-50% to be combat ready and gave up when the result was about 25% with the other 75% being either dead or wounded. The fact that they were ok with 50-60% being dead or wounded speaks volumes of their dedication to health and safety. Just watch Russian roads on youtube. Some of the stuff there makes this zorbing look like a reasonable thing to do.

yeah, laughing was probably not the right response.

I possibly should have read the video title before I watched it, there was a hint in there that it wasnt a happy ever after ending. However isn't it a bit sick to post the video that resulted in someones death? ( yes it's sicker to laugh at it- but, If they had both been fine it would have been funny and i didnt realise someone died as a result.) It had elements of Only Fools and Horses - the one where Delboy is on the jetski and heads out to sea about it.

woah, slow down there. I merely provided a link to something out there in the wild internets with a clearly visible title.
as for laughing at death, **** it why not, death by misadventure is at least an ok way to go in my book and if your into zorbing you probably have sense of humour

oh No I don't mean you're sick Shiva, the people that posted it on Youtube I meant- oh God, just shoot me - blurghhh foot in mouth disease

You've changed.

It used to be about the love, the little kittens, the caring.

Now you laugh at death.

UNBELIEVABLE.

lol - you lot clearly don't watch horrible histories with your kids on tv, where there's a section called "stupid deaths"

weasel decentral

Why not laugh, it would be stranger to be upset or sad for the death of some random zorb-er.

**** it his death provided a few seconds of laughter for people round the world.
