How unlucky are you?

Dont think you can beat this guy

Cuts tree, tree falls on him, chainsaw cuts into his leg to the bone, falls to the ground with the tree on top of him, landed on a wasp hive, bees sting him repeatedly in the face.

This guy was pretty unlucky too

He wasn't that unlucky. He still made it out alive. I would say that he was lucky to make it out alive.

Hahaha...I thought this expert advice sounded hilarious from the article:

"If attacked, quickly move into an enclosed area. Any insects that follow you inside will become confused. If no enclosure is available, try to run in a zig-zag pattern, do not look back and do not stop for about a quarter-mile or four city blocks."

Can you imagine seeing someone run around 4 city blocks in a zig zag pattern?

When i was working on a site in Southeast Asia one of the workmen discovered a large python sitting in a hole in some rocks by our camp. For some odd reason we decided to pull it out and have a look at it.

The whole process of extracting it was pretty tricky. It took 4 people a lot of effort get it from it's resting spot. Our efforts were the source of endless amusement for one of our coworkers.

What he failed to notice was that the area was covered with fire ants (the large Southeast Asia kind). he brushed up against a bush that was covered with them and quickly swarmed over him and stated biting.

I still have visions of him sprinting off, screaming and throwing his clothing behind him

What was this guy's recovery time? Having a tree fall on you is bad enough. A chainsaw to the leg? Bad as well. Combine that with 100+ stings from yellow jackets and that's insane. How is this guy still alive (and talking about it)?
