NEW: Russian bodybuilder and daredevil Sergey Boytsov claims to have set a world record.

Boytsov claims to have set a world record for the world’s first gymnastic turns under a balloon at an altitude of 1500 meters *without* a parachute.

Boytsov says there was no “insurance,” meaning if something went wrong, he was done.

Boytsov is 30 years old and is from Russia.
