A native of the English city of Basingstoke performs his incredible stunts at a height of almost 150 meters without any insurance.

2. “When doing a handstand, you need to focus on the ground in front of your eyes to keep your balance. If the ground is nearby, great, but I have to look from a huge height, so I try to block in my head the fact that the ground is many meters away from me.

3. "It's more of a mental challenge - you need to focus on what you're doing, not what might happen."

6. “This trick was more technical because this fence was no wider than my thumb. Besides, if I had fallen, I would most likely have died, and my mother would have killed me because of this scandal.”

8. “Even my teammates wanted me to put on insurance, but I knew I could manage without it.” Scott's mother is so afraid of her son's "hobby" that she refuses to look at photos and videos of her son taken during his extreme experiments.

11. “Yes, I got injured. He sprained the ligaments of his shoulder, but these are more likely injuries from the monotonous repetition of the same movements than from falls.

12. “My most serious injury was a sprained ankle when I landed badly on a mat during a movie premiere. The irony is that if I had landed on concrete, I would have rolled over and stood up as if nothing had happened.”
