Roy Cleveland Sullivan (February 7, 1912 – September 28, 1983) was a United States park ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Between 1942 and 1977, Sullivan was hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survived all of them. For this reason, he gained a nickname "Human Lightning Conductor" or "Human Lightning Rod". Sullivan is recognized by Guinness World Records as the person struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being

Fair play -- although one might've maybe taken a job inside, say in a rubber factory -- unerground -- or something after the..3rd...? ...4th..? strike but YMMV.

his death seems a little odd too possibly..?
