VIDEO: This Irish “Flying Baby” clip is 100% going to go viral around the world

He took off like a rocket

He took off like a rocket.

There have been plenty of Irish viral sensations in the last few years; ‘Ice Fall Guy,’ ‘Frostbit Guy,’ ‘Westmeath Dad’ and we think we’ve found the next – ‘Flying Baby’.

A JOE reader called Sean got in touch with us and explained what happened: “My friend and his wife got a new bean bag and their the kids Luke and Sarah were playing on it.

“Sarah jumped on the bag and Luke slid off of it and we all laughed. Then Ciaran, his dad, jumped onto the bag and Luke went a little into the air.

“Luke loved it so he asked me to jump on it but before I did, we put a pillow beside the bag thinking he’d slid/fall onto that.”

Sean jumped on it and this is what happened.

The trajectory is something you’d see in NASA but thankfully little Luke was OK. Sean added: “What you don’t see is he went straight onto the couch into his mam’s arms

“The first words out of his mouth was “again, again”.” Thank God.

We cannot express how much we love the clip, it’s the best thing we’ve seen in ages.
