Jun 24, 2021

You rarely get to see a man up in the sky on a drone. But this recently happened in New York’s famous Times Square. A video of the incident has gone viral on the internet, leaving netizens confused and in awe of this flying daredevil. A 10-second video has been shared by former Basketball player Rex Chapman on Twitter, where a man can be seen hovering about 10 feet in the air. Check out the video below:

The man in the video has been identified as Youtuber Hunter Kowald. As per the reports, Kowald designed the hoverboard aircraft he flew on. He performed the stunt with a camera strapped to his helmet.

He said: “It’s a highly engineered device,”. “I spent years on this thing to make this happen, at least to do it safely and properly. There’s a lot of safety built into that device, so essentially, I could have two motors fail and still land safely.” He also added that he took all the permissions to perform the stunt.

When the video went viral, Twitterati noticed the similarity between Kowald and Green Goblin, the villain from the Spiderman movie. Many people appreciated this futuristic way of travel, while others were annoyed by the sound.
