Biography of Roy Sullivan
He was born in 1912 in the American state of Virginia.
At age 24, Sullivan took a job at Shenandoah National Park.
The man received the position of security inspector.
While working as a park ranger, Sullivan found himself in life-threatening situations more than once.
The first time this happened was in 1942, when a man was struck by lightning.
The inspector found himself in a similar situation six more times, the last time in 1977.
