What happened to Jonathan Goodwin?

The source said: “Goodwin was suspended 70 feet in the air in a straightjacket hanging by his feet from a wire.

“Two cars were suspended on either side of him, swinging back and forth. The stunt was for Goodwin to free himself from the restraints and then fall on an air mattress, and avoid getting crushed by the cars as they swung in the air.

“Something went terribly wrong, and the cars smashed together, sandwiching Goodwin in between them.”

The sourse then claimed that the cars exploded, “erupting in a gigantic fireball.”

Now in a trauma unit, the site says it’s unclear on Jonathan’s latest condition.

It’s also unclear when and where the shocking accident took place.
