Waterwalkerz let you roll around on any water surface

I've always wanted to walk on water, but thanks to my lack of deity-like qualities, it's never really been an option. But now, thanks to a mixture of technology and human ingenuity, my dream might just become a reality. Say hello to Waterwalkerz.

Waterwalkerz are essentially giant hamster balls that you can get into and run around in across any surface of water. They look, in a word, amazing. I can only imagine how fun it would be to get tossed around on waves in one of these things. Hey Santa, put this on my list please. Thanks.

Waterwalkerz, Via Neatorama

What's the temperature after about 10 min. in the sun?

Ok if it holds air to enable it to stand on the water without letting any in, no air could possibly get in either. I wonder if someone happened to be in one for 20-30 min, would they possibly run out of oxygen and pass out and die? I wouldnt test it.
