On the night of Saturday, February 8, 1997, Scott was performing at the Orange Bowl stadium in Miami, Florida at a U.S. Hot Rod Monster Jam. A crowd of around 30,000 spectators watched Scott attempt a dangerous step-up jump. Scott drove up a steep ramp on his motorcycle and was supposed to land into a net that was hoist high into the air. Scott jumped over 70 feet (21 m) high on his motorcycle. He was meant to grab the net upon hitting it, but he missed, bounced out, and fell to the ground below. He suffered other head and chest injuries. Scott was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The fatality was witnessed by thousands and was caught on camera by people filming in the crowd. Scott had performed the stunt four times before with no problem. He was 28 years old at the time of his death.
