The world’s luckiest person

Arnold Romine, 61 must be one of the world’s luckiest ever persons, if not the luckiest ever. Some might say people who win millions gambling are luckier, but when it comes to life and death situations, this surely must rank higher than merely winning money.

On 13th November 2008, he was reportedly hit by not one but EIGHT train cars and not only survived, but suffered no major injuries.

The train conductor saw him, sounded the warning horn, tried to stop the train, but couldn’t do so in time.

In any case, Romine did not budge. Whether he was hell bent on committing suicide, it was not immediately clear.

He was found lying next to the tracks and managed to crawl out from under the train when it finally stopped.

…perhaps he should be banned from ever setting foot on the las vegas strip
