RE: Today I Learned of Roy Sullivan: The Man Who Holds the Guinness World Record for Being Struck by Lightning
That is unbelievable! 7 times... you have to wonder if the lightning messed him a bit and thus the gun shot... I have never understood why 1 lightning strikes kills some people and others get struck multiple times with almost no significant injuries...
There was also a time where he was missed being struck but his wife ended up getting hit! As for why it sometimes kills and sometimes not...It has to do with how well grounded the person is. The better grounded you are the more current and it can stop your heart. If you aren't well grounded the lightning wont "go through you" but rather just stay more on the exterior.
