WATCH: This Daredevil Soars Into Galway On An Incredible Wingsuit Flight

Sarah

Ever wanted to fly like an eagle through the skies? 

Well, daredevil Michael Moran does it all the time, and now you can get to see a first-person view of how it looks to swoop down into Galway.

The brave fella filmed himself being dropped from a stomach-churning 4,000 ft, flying for a good one minute, while he covered an impressive 4km.

Think you’d like to do something like this?

FYI, a wingsuit is a special type of suit that adds surface area to the body with fabric between the arms and legs, kinda like how a flying squirrel gets around.

A wingsuit flight normally ends by deploying a parachute, and so a wingsuit can be safely flown from any point that provides sufficient altitude for flight and parachute deployment.

Looks pretty crazy eh?
