Zippos Circus Bravo, which is currently at Victoria Park, invited him down to see if he could contain his own stomach-churning butterflies.
The Globe of Death sees motorbikes speeding around inside a mesh sphere ball while someone stands in the middle.
Since 2014 there have been a number of reported accidents from the stunt, including fractures, broken bones, head injuries and even death as a result of bikes colliding.
Seany, who plays Heartlands festival with Just The Brave, Skerryvore, and Nathan Evans at Pitlochry on June 28, as well as IM2C fest with Ben Walker in Barrhead on June 21 admitted: 'I definitely had butterflies before I went in.
'I never thought I'd do anything like this because it's pretty dangerous. It was amazing, very scary but Jackie Louise looked after me inside.
'I could see all the bikes rushing round me, hear them, and smell the petrol and I felt someone patting me on the head but I was in a bit of a daze.
'Everyone here is so experienced so I'd definitely do it again. It was a real adrenaline rush.'
Zippos boss Martin Burton added: 'We recently had Sophie Ellis Bextor visit us so it was great to have Just The Brave here to meet out international team of talented artists.'
We previously told how Seany's bandmate, who suffers with Tourette's hailed Lewis Capaldi as his inspiration to become a household name.
Danny McCabe, 16, ditched school early to form band Just The Brave with his pals.
And the talented teen, from Edinburgh, says hearing Someone You Loved by hitmaker open up in about his battle with the neurological condition has spurred him on.
Lewis, 27, open up in about his battle with the neurological condition has spurred him on.
Danny said: "I have Tourette's and look up to Lewis Capaldi. When Lewis came out saying he also has the condition it was a big inspiration for me.
"Seeing his Netflix documentary and seeing him speak about performing on stage was really relatable."

Edinburgh's hidden city Launching on Thursday, June 19, is a new dual underground experience from The Real Mary King's Close and The Lost Close. The attractions will be joining forces for a one-of-a-kind tour through two of Edinburgh's most mysterious subterranean streets. Starting with a coffee and stories underneath John's Coffee House—where Scottish Enlightenment minds once met—visitors will then encounter a Victorian Crossley engine buried in time before heading across the iconic Royal Mile to The Real Mary King's Close.

Kim Woodburn's explosive feud with Aggie MacKenzie after star 'overstepped the mark'
The pair fell out whilst doing panto together and hadn't spoken since. Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie were a very well-kent and iconic TV duo more than two decades ago. However, their friendship came to an end over a major fallout whilst they were doing panto. It was announced on Tuesday that Kim had passed away at the age of 83 after a short illness. It remains unclear whether Kim ever made up with Scots star Aggie, who was accused her of 'destroying her'. The cleaning duo rose to fame on Channel 4 show How Clean Is Your House? which aired from 2003 to 2009. After the programme ended, Kim stayed in the limelight and took part in various shows including Celebrity Big Brother and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! However, Aggie led a much quieter life. Aggie previously said that the pair were so different off screen, describing them as chalk and cheese. She said: "I think we're chalk and cheese. Because of the friction there was between us, it created this energy and so we knew how to be in front of the camera. "I mean, most of it was ad lib. We had an idea of the storyline, but we just kind of made it up as we went along. I think for her it's kind of normal to have conflict and I think that if things are calm and easy, I think she found that quite difficult. "That's not me, I like it easy peasy. There were lots of highs, and a few lows." Aggie went on to say that they had a huge fall out whilst doing panto in Brighton and said she "lost her rag". "We were doing panto in Brighton. I was so shocked and upset and angry. I lost my rag with her. I said, 'You've really overstepped the mark now! We carried on working together for quite a while but the only speaking we did was on camera. It had all come to a bitter end. We've never spoken since," she said of their explosive fall out. Aggie also said she was "frightened" of Kim, and branded her a "bully". She explained: "We were never friends. Far from it. Kim was such a big, damaging part of my life. "I feel she almost destroyed me. I know that sounds extreme but she was this massive powerful figure. "I was frightened of her. Everyone was. It's like any bully - they push and push and push. There were no boundaries, no limitations. It was as if Kim felt more entitled to the job, status and money than me. "She was the 'main man' and the show could not go on without her. I was ordinary and dispensable." Speaking to the Mirror in 2019, Kim had said: "I have never said anything derogatory about Aggie and I am not going to start now. I am unclear where these false allegations have come from but I wish her all the luck in the world." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
