What are the weirdest cases of people hit by lightning?

Answer 1

For unknown reasons, some human beings are more likely to be hit by lightning. The record for most survived lightning strikes is 7. The victim was Roy C. Sullivan, struck between the years 1942 and 1977. After the fourth strike, he started to carry a bottle of water with him, because it burned his hair. A Russian farmer was struck 5 times during his or her lifetime. A very unlucky man was struck 4 times during his LIFETIME and once after he was DEAD. His gravestone was actually blown apart by a bolt of lightning. There are two recorded cases, one involving a woman, of lightning striking while the person was filming with a camera. The strikes were recorded, and both victims survived. A man from Norway was struck while he was playing Golf. He not only survived, but was conscious of electricity emanating from his fingers. He said it was only a sting, and that he had to continue playing, and he did. Carl Mize, from Noble, Oklahoma has been hit 4 times during a 30-year period. The latest was in 2005, while working at the University of Oklahoma. He suffered a hole in his tennis shoe after his right foot "bounced (up) off the ground." He said, "We were repairing a water line break up on the north campus, and a storm rolled in pretty fast", according to an interview after his release from the hospital.
