An American stuntman, famous for his dizzying escape stunts, had a serious accident while preparing for an escape show with a prize money of 600 million won.
On the 17th (local time), the New York Post reported a video of stuntman Jonathan Goodwin being injured in an accident. Jonathan had two cars suspended 20 meters above the cranes on either side of the crane and tied them to a rope between them, preparing to escape. While he was escaping from the air, the cars next to him began to rush towards him.
Jonathan tried to make a scene in which he took off his jacket while he was hanging, but the cars didn’t move as expected. By the time Jonathan managed to escape, the cars were already too close. Eventually, two cars hit Jonathan, and the cars exploded with sparks. Jonathan fell to the ground immediately after the accident.
He is known to be filming NBC’s new show, ‘America’s Got Talent: Extreme’. It is known that the winner of the program will receive a cash prize of 500,000 dollars (about 600 million won).
Staff members who witnessed the accident said, “The accident was so terrible that I thought Jonathan was dead.” Fortunately, Jonathan did not lose his life, but was taken to a nearby hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. The current status is not known in detail.
The producers of the program said, “Jonathan has been taken to the hospital and continues to receive treatment. We are waiting for news that his condition has improved.” Netizens who saw the video responded, “He got into an accident even though he managed to escape on time. He must never do such a dangerous thing again,” and “I will pray so that he can recover quickly.”
Jonathan appeared in ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ in 2019 and ‘American Got Talent’ in 2020, showing dizzying escape stunts.
