Between 1942 and 1977, Shenandoah National Park Ranger Roy C. Sullivan was struck 7 times by lightning without serious injury. He had also been previously hit by lightning once as a youth, but this strike was not "officially" documented.
The odds of the average person being struck by lightning once in his life time is one in 10,000.
Sullivan felt hurt and rejected by the fact that people, for some inexplicable reason, would avoid getting physically near him. Sadly, he committed suicide when he was 71 years old.
