Sous ses airs de baroudeur, Vincent cache assez difficilement son vertige (Peut-on sauter du plus haut pont d'Europe !) et son mal des transports : les expériences sont parfois à haut risque et notre Cobaye montre bien souvent qu'il prend beaucoup de plaisir tout autant que de peur. Aventurier dans l'âme, il est souvent celui qui connaît les tactiques de survie et est le plus physique de la bande, même s'il laisse les activités les plus dangereuses aux professionnels.
