But there's no escape: one by one they're crushed under the giant plastic balls.
The video was created by YouTube celebrity Devin "Super Tramp" Graham, who has more than 2.7 million subscribers on the video-sharing site.
Mr Graham, who comes from Utah, was shooting videos all over New Zealand in January for his YouTube channel Devin Super Tramp.
He filmed the video at Zorb Rotorua on January 20, and while in town also took the time to go rafting with River Rats.
More than 50 Rotorua fans and film enthusiasts starred as extras in the action video at Zorb.
One of those who took part said on Facebook it had been a long day to get the video just right - but it had been worth it.
"Nine hours of filming for a 3 minute long video ... such an epic day though."
An earlier version of the video was uploaded soon after filming this summer, and Zorb Rotorua general manager, Alyssa Bennett, said the effect of its popularity had been noticeable. "Since January we have had a lot of fans come through ... That's the power of these kind of promotions in the tourism industry."
She said when members of the team at Zorb had been approached about filming the video there, they had jumped at the chance.
"We thought it was a really cool opportunity to promote tourism for Rotorua and New Zealand ... When people come to us for that reason, we're all over it like a rash."
If such a video was ever going to be filmed, it was only right for it to be done in Rotorua.
Zorbing was invented in New Zealand in 1994 and the first official course was the one in Western Rd that has now become an international star.
