The impressive history of the lightning rods human
The probability of taking the hit of a ray is very small. To receive two unloadings throughout the life of a human being, and to live to count it, are practically impossible. Nevertheless, guardaparques Roy Sullivan has broken all the records to the salary survived the impact of a ray in seven occasions!
The predisposition is very strange from Sullivan towards rays; in fact, although its work of guardaparques has collaborated to maintain it in many stormy places outdoors, the mathematics are clearly in his against and in spite of it, Roy Sullivan made fun of of the statistics of an incredible way. According to National Geographic, the probability that a person receives the unloading of a ray throughout its life is of 1 between 3.000. Being based on these data, one has calculated that the probability that somebody as Roy Sullivan were struck by seven rays during all their life, reaches the astronomical value of 1 between 16 septillones; that is to say, 16 followed of 24 zero.
We review the opportunities in which Sullivan, born the 7 from February of 1912, was struck by a ray:
In 1942, Sullivan was in a watchtower of the National Park Shenandoah, in Virginia, the United States. There first electrical unloading received his; it bordered it hit on his leg and it lost the nail of the greatest finger of the foot.
In 1969, a ray fell on the convertible light truck of Roy Sullivan while it circulated around an mountain road. Their eyebrows were burned completely and lost the knowledge.
In 1970, while one was in the entrance of his house, it reached it unexpectedly to a ray, causing burns to him in the left shoulder.
In 1972, another ray fell on Roy Sullivan when it was in the office of guardaparques, causing that its hair set fire. From then, Sullivan always took with himself a full water canteen, just in case.
The forecast of the canteen saved to Roy Sullivan of damages majors when the 7 of August of 1973, the fifth ray hit on the head of guardaparques, expelling it violently from the Jeep that lead and burning again the hair to him.
The sixth ray that received, while was in open field the 5 of June of 1974, burned one to him of its ankles. The witnesses of the fact affirmed that Sullivan observed a dangerous cloud and began to run from fear of being thundered against, but that did not reach to arrive at a safe place before receiving its penultimate unloading.
Finally, the last ray that fell on the unfortunate Sullivan did the 25 of June of 1977, while it was fishing in the lake of the park, and had to be hospitalized with burns in the chest and the stomach.
As it is logical to imagine, to his particular it was transforming it condition into a bad-tempered and depressive person. In 1983, Sullivan took off the life with its own organic armament, apparently due to a loving disappointment.
