People in London looked on in amazement this morning (March 5th) as a man dangled from one of the capsules on the London Eye with only a burning rope keeping him from the ground below.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Goodwin admitted he was "pushing the limits" by tying himself to the rope and turning upside down 200ft above the South Bank.<\/p>\n

With seconds to spare – and as the flames began to surround his jacket – he managed to free himself and retreat to safety.<\/p>\n

The incredible stunt was filmed for the new show on Watch entitled The Incredible Mr Goodwin, which is due to air for the first time on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Speaking afterwards, Mr Goodwin said: "Danger is a part of my profession and the adrenaline I get from each stunt I do drives me on to the next."<\/p>\n

He added that he hoped he had given everybody present a lasting memory – something we are certain he has achieved with the shocking stunt.\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801551522-ADNFCR\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
