The popular American talent show “America’s Got Talent” witnessed a contestant suffer a terrible accident while performing a dangerous stunt in the air.
The contestant, Jonathan Goodwin, a Doppler, was suspended in the air at a height of 70 feet, tied in a jacket between two cars that were also suspended, and swung back and forth, according to the American “TMZ” website.
Goodwin was supposed to free himself from his shackled jacket and land on an air mattress, while avoiding the swaying cars, but what happened was the cars crashed into each other and caught fire and crushed him before he fell to the ground.
A spokesperson for “America’s Got Talent: Extreme” said Jonathan Goodwin was a responder after the accident, and was immediately taken to hospital for medical attention, but his condition remains unknown.
The spokesperson said that the program’s organizers send their thoughts and prayers to Godwin and his family, and that they are waiting for more news about his health.
It is noteworthy that the “America’s Got Talent” program has an Arabic version in the Middle East, which is “Arab’s Got Talent”, and its main idea is to discover talents from all fields, not just singing.
