They say the safest place to be when it’s lightning is inside.
But what if you were sheltered inside and still got struck by lightning? Such is the case for Aidan Rowan AKA the unluckiest man alive.
The Oxfordshire man was just minding his own business, playing video games on his couch, when he got stuck, leaving him with scars — and a wicked story to tell.
There’s this guy who had the best seat in the house. And you thought the nosebleed section was bad?!
This man is bound to get a neck injury from having to move his neck to the side the whole time just to see.
She’s washing it out with soap because she accidentally ate soap AND because of the horrible swear words that came out of her mouth after realizing that she had just eaten soap. That aunt in Maine was just looking for trouble!
It doesn’t help that 4/20 happens in the spring when allergy season is in full swing. This person will have a lot of explaining to do to their boss and their parents. “IT’S JUST ALLERGIES!” Riiiiiight.
Damn! That’s a no from us, dawg. This is what happens when you try to book a last-minute Christmas flight. It’s safe to say that this person will be spending Christmas alone. They did not have luck on their side.
In the professor’s defense, the student probably had nothing better to do than sit there and wait for the tow truck.
We only WISH we had dedicated group members like this in university. It usually goes like this: one or two people do all the work while everyone else slacks off.
Aidan Rowan, a 33-year-old from Oxfordshire, was using his PlayStation at home when he heard a loud crack and then a heavy sensation in his body.
In a twist of irony, the video game he was playing was called Stray. It’s a game where you control a lost cat in a thunderstorm.
When they got to the hospital and they said that Aidan was struck by lightning, everyone in the waiting room turned to look at him.
His heart rate was erratic. It took four hours before it leveled out and he was allowed to go home.
It could’ve all been so much worse.
As for how he was stuck in his living room, doctors believe that the lightning “bounced off the water and through the window.” This was after hot temperatures made the ground hard and rainwater sat on top.
Does this mean that he has superpowers now?!
