Bats are a lot smaller than us and have a lot less blood in their bodies, so gravity has a much smaller influence on their circulatory systems than it does for us. Similar to how we can hang upside down for a lot longer than an elephant would be able to.

Giraffes have a special circulatory in their necks to combat this because their blood pressure is so high they would blow their own brains out if they bent down to the ground and didn't have it
