The Man Who Was Hit by Lightning Seven Times... and Survived
The odds of being struck by lightning for an ordinary person over the period of 80 years have been roughly estimated as 1 in 3000. Yet, between 1942 and 1977, U.S. park ranger Roy Sullivan defied all odds after being hit by lightning on seven different occasions, surviving all of them.

Sullivan is recognized by Guinness World Records as the person struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being, and gained a nickname "Human Lightning Conductor" or "Human Lightning Rod". He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 71 over an unrequited love.
