Zorbs, Treetop Rafts and Jackie Chan


1990 :
In contradiction with my forecasts, the Zorb was still of interest! Jackie Chan contacted me for his film ’Operation Condor’, which was released the following year. I started production of a new Zorb and took the job of stuntman for spectacular shooting in the Philippines.


SOURCE: ZORB.IN

And if you have seen 'Who Am I' this image of the treetop raft will be familiar:



It was invented by the same French architect/inventor as the Zorb - Gilles Ebersolt and was featured in a National Geographic article about research in the Amazon Forest - preserved in a PDF HERE (Right click to save)

Who Am I? And Coconut IV's

Did you ever watch "Who Am I?" and wonder if a coconut IV was actually possible? Well like many of the small details in a Jackie Chan movie this is actually not only possible but an accepted medical treatment in many parts of the world.

In actual fact it is not coconut milk that is used - coconut's don't actually have milk inside them but water. Coconut milk is made from the flesh/meat of a coconut. You obtain it by grating the flesh/meat of a ripe coconut, adding boiling water and squeezing the 'milk' out from it. You can make your own coconut milk at home if you have access to fresh coconuts.

Coconut water (the liquid you find inside coconuts) is regarded as a refreshing drink in many parts of the world. It is also sterile and contains sufficient trace elements to be used an alternative to saline solution in medical situations. Because it lacks sodium and chloride (sodium chloride = salt) table salt may be added to the liquid to prevent the patient needing additional supplementation later.
