AGT: Extreme stunt artist Jonathan Goodwin

Four months after a near-fatal accident on the set of AGT: Extreme, stunt artist Jonathan Goodwin is back home. The stunt artist was rushed to the hospital after he was severely injured while rehearsing a stunt for the October 14th show.

At the time, TMZ revealed a video, showing the escape artist suspended in the air by a cable, while wearing a straitjacket. Meanwhile, there was a suspended vehicle on either side of him. When the cars swung towards Goodwin, he was released and was meant to fall beneath the cars. However, as could be seen from the footage, he ended up getting sandwiched between the vehicles, followed by a terrifying, fiery blast.

Jonathan included his fiancée, actress Amanda Abbington, calling her “the best thing to ever happen to me.”
