Bubble bump soccer

Bubble bump soccer, or bubble bump football, is a sport based on soccer, or association football, altered only by having the players wear a large air-filled donut around their heads, torsos and hips.[1][2][3]

The bubble suits weigh 13 kilograms.[3] The rules are the same as for regular soccer.

The donuts are shaped like spheres, and the air within them is under just enough pressure that players bounce off one another, when they attempted to body-check one another.[1][2][3] Body-checks often result in both players bubbles rolling across the pitch.
