Wilson is notorious for his on-stage antics while performing with Slipknot. He has been known to initiate fights during shows with percussionist Shawn Crahan, to jump into the crowd and to set himself on fire. In his interview on the band's 2006 DVD, Voliminal: Inside the Nine, he stated that in the future he would cease these stunts for fear of being arrested and charged with attempted suicide for his human inferno act, and that, "When it comes to jumping off stages, there have been too many close calls." During the first show of the 2008 Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival in Auburn, WA he jumped from a piece of stage equipment and broke both of his heels.
