Britain's unluckiest man falls down manhole

Some people might describe John Lyne as unlucky. But as far as he is concerned, is the luckiest man alive. Or perhaps that should just be lucky to be alive.

In his 54 years he has had a terrifying array of 16 accidents or near misses.

He has been struck by lightning, been run over by a delivery van, hit by a bus and nearly drowned. Then there was the time a stone, propelled by a catapult, hit him in the mouth smashing eight teeth.

And that's just a taster of calamity John's mishaps.

The grandfather-of-three is currently is currently nursing a badly damaged back and leg and knees after plummeting down a manhole cover.
