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."
