Photographs which are bound to make you flip out! Daredevil performs a somersault on the edge of Norway's 700m high 'Troll's Tongue'
Toby Segar, of Godalming, Surrey, performed the crazy stunt at Trolltunga, on the edge of lake Ringedalsvatnet
The 21-year-old seems to have had little fear, placing himself right on the edge of the rock over the precipice
Downplayed the danger element afterwards - confidently stating after take off 'nothing can go wrong'
Because, if the idea of standing near the edge of a piece of rock jutting out over a 700 metre drop is enough to give you sweaty palms, these pictures of a daredevil doing a backflip are likely to send you into a full blown panic attack.
Luckily, Toby Segar had no such fears when he decided to perform the stunt on the edge of Trolltunga - or 'Troll's Tongue' - in Norway.
Quite the drop: Toby Segar performs a backflip on the edge of Trolltunga, or 'Troll's Tongue', in southern Norway
'It might sound crazy, but nothing can go wrong after take-off,' the 21-year-old, from Godalming, Surrey, said, having successfully completed the acrobatic display.
The backflip was caught in these stunning photos, which capture the rock, which protrudes out of a mountain on the north side of lake Ringedalsvatnet.
It clearly shows Segar - who has been training as a parkour artist for the last decade - standing right on the edge of the flat piece of rock, before jumping up into the air to begin the feat.
But it seems even daredevils do get a little nervous.
Segar said: 'Everyone is scared of heights, it just takes time to learn how to deal with that fear rationally.
'The scary bit was standing on the very edge of the overhang in preparation for the backflip.'
Up, up and away: Segar has since admitted the scariest part was standing on the edge before starting the acrobatic feat
Bravery - or something else?: Segar says that nothing can really go wrong once the flip is in motion
Future: The talented acrobat plans to travel the world doing stunts while he is still young enough
And this is unlikely to be the last time Segar is seen performing such a trick, as he enjoys being able to do stunts in the countryside with an epic backdrop.
Toby said: 'I've been training Parkour for maybe 10 years now which is what really fuels all my travels and motivation to experience as much as possible while I'm still young.'
Even Google Says Live In Peace Love.
