His father assisted him with a stunt on an episode of Channel 4’s Balls of Steel.

In April 2008, Goodwin starred in a ten-part series called One Way Out on the Discovery Channel, in which he pulled off a number of daring escapes, including being confined in a box with 200,000 bees and escaping from a crane dangling 30 feet above the earth. On September 11, 2012, it was announced that Jonathan Goodwin would star in his own series, The Incredible Mr. Goodwin, on UKTV’s Watch. The show debuted in early 2013 and included a wide range of exploits, from free climbing buildings to “extreme planking.”

Beginning in July 2013, it was also broadcast on UKTV’s Dave and BBC America as Dangerman: The Incredible Mr. Goodwin. He did the feat of lying on a single nail and having a breezeblock broken on his chest with a sledgehammer on The Jonathan Ross Show on March 9, 2013. Jonathan made it to the finals of Britain’s Got Talent in April 2019, performing “buried alive,” which was the first time this feat had ever been performed on a stage. He competed on America’s Got Talent in 2020, finishing as a semi-finalist. On October 18, 2021, while rehearsing a stunt for America’s Got Talent: Extreme, Goodwin was involved in a near-fatal accident.

AGT Extreme Incident

His horrific car stunt didn’t go quite as per his expectation and in fact, it was every bit as shocking as it sounded. As per the video obtained before few moments, the stunt got underway Thursday during an ‘AGT: Extreme’ rehearsal and the moment Goodwin got sandwiched between two cars… resulting in a massive fireball exploding and Goodwin being rushed to the hospital in critical condition. The professional daredevil is hung in mid-air in a straight jacket, with two automobiles suspended on either side of him. When they let go of the cars, which start swinging toward Goodwin, they also let go of his harness.

Goodwin was supposed to fall beneath the automobiles before they crashed, but the timing was incorrect, and he was crushed as they collided. He then fell to the ground and smacked his head, but thankfully, this video doesn’t show any of the gruesome aftermath. As we previously reported, Goodwin was initially unresponsive, leading to speculation that he had been killed on site. However, he did wake up while being evacuated to a nearby hospital, where he underwent surgery. Following this incident, he was taken to the nearest trauma center as per the reports. Jonathan Goodwin and his family remain in our thoughts and prayers as he recovers from his Thursday accident.
