Samuel Koch (born 28 September 1987) is a German actor and former stunt performer.
Since then, he has received recognition for his performances in the soap opera Storm of Love (2014) and the drama film Head Full of Honey (2014).
He took on a challenge to jump over five moving cars of gradually increasing size using spring-loaded boots.
Koch's head hit the windshield and he landed on the studio floor, fracturing two cervical vertebrae and damaging his spinal cord.
In the following episode, host Thomas Gottschalk announced his resignation, leaving after the last installment of the 2011 season.
