Introduction: Roy Sullivan was an American park ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Va. He holds the Guinness book of world records for having been struck by lightning the most times of any human being. 7 times. He was dubbed the "Spark Ranger."
1) Sullivan's 1st strike was in April 1942. He was hiding from a storm in a fire lookout tower. The tower was struck & began to burn. Sullivan ran out from the burning tower, just before being struck a few feet away by lightning. It burned a half-inch strip along his right leg, hit his toe, & left a hole in his shoe.
2) He was hit again in July 1969. He was in his truck, driving on a mountain road. The lightning first hit nearby trees & was deflected into the open window of the truck. The strike knocked Sullivan unconscious, burned off his eyebrows & eyelashes, & set his hair on fire. The uncontrolled truck kept moving until it stopped near a cliff edge.
3) In July 1970, Sullivan was struck while in his front yard. The lightning hit a nearby power transformer & from there jumped to his left shoulder.
4) In the spring of 1972, Sullivan was working inside a ranger station when he was struck again. It set his hair on fire. Although he never was a fearful man, after the 4th strike he began carry a can of water with him in case his hair was set on fire.
5) On August 7, 1973, while out on patrol in the park, Sullivan saw a storm cloud forming & drove away quickly. But the cloud, he said later, seemed to be FOLLOWING him. When he finally thought he had outrun it, he decided it was safe to leave his truck. Soon after, he was struck by a lightning bolt. The lightning moved down his left arm & left leg & knocked off his shoe. It then crossed over to his right leg just below the knee. Still conscious, Sullivan crawled to his truck & poured the can of water over h ...
