'America's Got Talent: Extreme' Contestant Hospitalized After Escape Stunt Goes Wrong

A contestant on NBC’s new “America’s Got Talent: Extreme” show was airlifted to hospital after his act went wrong during rehearsals at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia, on Thursday.

Escape artist Jonathan Goodwin, who reached the semi-final of last year’s regular “America’s Got Talent” show, reportedly fell dozens of feet to the ground after being crushed between two cars in mid-air, per multiple media outlets.

The Welsh-born performer, 41, was “responsive” and “immediately taken to the hospital where he is continuing to receive medical care,” a spokesperson for “AGT: Extreme” said in a statement to People magazine.
