Lightning struck Roy Sullivan seven separate times. ⚡

Lightning struck Roy Sullivan seven separate times. ⚡ . . . The Shenandoah National Park ranger survived documented strikes from 1942 to 1977. They burned his skin, set his hair ablaze and once tore through a shoe, injuring his toe. After the seventh strike, Guinness recognized him as the human lightning rod who simply kept surviving.
