“Calamity John,” as some call him, is a 54-year-old industrial cleaner who might just be Britain’s unluckiest man, according to his country’s media. John Lyne’s mishaps cover a lifetime, and he has even been known to suffer from two accidents at once. As a child, he fell off a horse and cart – only to be run over by a delivery van. When he was a teenager, he broke his arm falling from a tree. On his way back from the hospital, his bus crashed and he broke the same arm in another place. The date, of course, was Friday the 13th. Then in 2006, his story hit the newspapers because he was laid up again after falling down a manhole at work.
