The video has amassed more than 1 million views on Instagram. Many users on the internet wondered how did she pull off such head-spinning moves without toppling over? A user wrote, "Yikes. I got a headache just by watching that." Another user commented, "Anyone ever compared MRIs of figure skater's brains vs other athletes? Would love to see that."
"Music in my mind: helicopter helicopter," the third user joked. "I got dizzy watching this," expressed the fourth user. "This would save me so much money in amusement park admission! Where can I get my hands on one????? (jk... Unless....)," wrote the fifth user.
