Jonathan Goodwin’s fiancee says he’s paralyzed after near-fatal accident

AGT: Extreme fiancé Jonathan Goodwin said he is now paralyzed after suffering a near-fatal accident on the set of AGT: Extreme. “He’s paralyzed now, he’s in a wheelchair,” Amanda Abbington said on the May 2 episode of the podcast, “Out to Lunch with Jay Rayner.” “Unless there’s some sort of stem cell surgery or that thing that Elon Musk designs with the little chip, it’s going to be like this forever.” Jonathan was rushed to the hospital on October 14, 2021 to undergo surgery after undergoing multiple sustained injuries while rehearsing a daring stunt for NBC’s America’s Got Talent: Extreme. At the time, sources told TMZ that Jonathan was hanging upside down in the air while wearing a straight jacket. The goal for the stuntman was to break free while two cars (also suspended in mid-air) swung back and forth on either side of him. However, the cars collided and caused an explosion, trapping Jonathan in the middle. He fell to the ground and hit his head, knocking him out. Jonathan later became responsive and was flown to the hospital. He shared some details of his recovery efforts with fans in an Instagram post on Tuesday. “6 months ago I went rehearsing and had this little hairy monkey waiting patiently for me… he only saw his dad a few weeks ago and when he finally did dad had new cool wheels,” Goodwin wrote. “A lot has changed in the last 6 months but love is a constant and I am loved very, very much. I look forward to my next chapters and to being a role model.”
