A man has left social media users stunned after scaling a wind turbine all the way to the top.
Mattis, a content creator and urban explorer with over 34,200 fans, shares footage of his challenging explorations and climbs online – always sporting his trademark black mask to stay anonymous.
The 24-year-old recently shared a video where he climbed a wind turbine, with the average height for the towers being between 60-120 meters.
The clip has left his fans shocked, with some calling him “bonkers” for the risky move.
“Every time I reach new heights, it’s an incredible feeling, I feel fully alive,” Mattis, from Brussels, Belgium told What's The Jam.
“They make special moments and unforgettable memories, that’s what motivates me to do this kind of thing.
“Fear is where the inevitable begins; from then on, it no longer has any meaning.”
In the clip, Mattis can be seen climbing out the top hatch of the tower.
He then stands on top of the wind turbine, and touches the spinning wings with his hands.
He also uses a 360 camera to show him, and his friends who accompanied him, lying on top of the turbine.
Right on the edge, they wave at the camera and walk around.
Mattis captioned the video: “Windy platform,” and it has since gathered over 1.1 million views, 15,400 likes and plenty of comments.

When exploring abandoned sites, Mattis is careful to leave no damage – something he calls a “major principle” of urban exploration.
He said: [We] do not leave any trace of our passage.
“Each exploration is unique and different.
“But the heights are what I love the most, it’s a feeling of power and freedom of feeling above everyone and having a breathtaking view of the cities and the countryside.”
