WATCH: Republic of Ireland footballer Megan Connolly on a rollercoaster is the most intense thing you’ll see today

Scared of heights? Brace yourself…

Rollercoasters aren’t for everyone, let’s be honest.

While some live for the adrenaline rush of being shot into the air and about the place at high speeds, others prefer to avoid all that near-death carnage altogether.

Republic of Ireland footballer Megan Connolly now joins the ranks of those brave souls who scraped the sky on a slingshot rollercoaster… even if she didn’t exactly love the experience.

Connolly, who currently plays for the Florida State Seminoles, has gone viral after visiting a fun fair with teammate Dallas Dorosy over the weekend, and freaking out accordingly.

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can live vicariously through Megan’s terrifying trip via the video she posted on her Twitter account.

A word of warning – if you’ve headphones on, maybe lower the volume a little bit before things really kick off…

Fair play Megan, you’re braver than some of us in the JOE office, that’s for sure.

Shouts also to Dorosy, who showed no fear and did her best to coach her mate through it.
