Frane Selak
Frane Selak, simply known as Frano, is a Croatian man who is famous for the several scary brushes with death that he has had throughout his life. According to Selak, he had a grand total of seven brush-with-death experiences. The first incident took place in 1962 and included a train that he was traveling that became derailed and crashed into a river.

The second time it happened was the next year when he boarded an aircraft and was thrown out of a door that was damaged. He landed on a haystack just in time before the plane crashed. In addition to these two, he was engaged in a bus accident that led to a collision with a river, a vehicle fire, and an explosion while trying to flee from a collision with a truck. What a run of unfortunate circumstances!
Roy Sullivan
Roy Sullivan, a park ranger, was known fondly as “the human lightning rod.” This nickname was given to him for a good reason. Lightning struck seven times during Sullivan’s lifetime, which is more times than any other individual in the history of the written word has ever been struck by lightning.

In April of 1942, the fire lookout tower was the location of the first lightning strike that was documented in Sullivan. Then, between the years 1969 and 1977, he was struck an additional six times while engaged in a variety of activities in a variety of settings. In the span of five years, he had four separate lightning strikes for an unknown cause. Sullivan could well take the cake for being the unluckiest person on our list!
