Roy C. Sullivan
, a US Park Ranger, from Virginia, held the Guinness World Record for the person most times struck by lightning. No one strike killed Sullivan. He was known as the Human Lightning Rod.
Sullivan was first hit by lightning in 1942, which caused him to lose his big toenail. Over the next 35 years, lightning burned off Sullivan's eyebrows (1969), seared his left shoulders (1970), set his hair on fire (1972), struck his legs (1973), injured his ankle (1976), and burned his stomach and chest (1977).
Roy C. Sullivan died in his 70's in 1983 -- not killed by lightning but by his own hand after the rejection by a woman he loved.
