They called Roy Sullivan the "spark ranger." This park ranger was hit by lightning some seven times, and lived to tell the tales.

Guinness World records recognised Mr Sullivan (1912-1983) as having been struck by lightning more times than anyone else (and survived those seven events).

His death was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
