It's incredible that he got up after getting struck twice by lightning. Once is usually enough to kill a human being.

Ooops, let me adjust myself to glass half full......holy crap, he lived. lol

I wonder how bad he was messed up. Exit wounds can be nasty from that.

Reminds of the character from Benjamin Button. "there I was, just minding my own business when out of nowhere........"

If this is a real video the odds of it are 1 in 360,000,000,000. Lightning Probability

Reminds me of Roy Sullivan who was struck 7 times in 80 yrs.

The 7 Most Bizarrely Unlucky People Who Ever Lived | Cracked.com

Roy Sullivan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Shenandoah National Park Ranger Roy Sullivan Set the World Record for Being Hit by Lightning | National Parks Traveler

"So, what are the odds of being struck by lightning seven times in an 80-year lifetime? The answer is one in (3,000 x 3,000 x 3,000 x 3,000 x 3,000 x 3,000 x 3,000). You can do the math in your head if you're familiar with exponents. The odds of being hit by lightning seven times in your lifetime are one in 2,187 followed by 21 zeroes. That is an awful lot of zeroes.

But don’t get carried away with the number, because it’s bogus. The calculation is accurate only if you are dealing with truly independent probabilities, and that’s most emphatically not the case with Roy Sullivan and his seven lightning strikes. You can’t ignore that Roy was a park ranger who lived and worked for decades in an environment that exposed him to much greater lightning risk than the populace at large. Whether he took adequate precautions to reduce his lightning risk is something I’m not qualified to judge, but that would be an important consideration."
