'Britain's unluckiest man' - who has suffered 16 major accidents - is laid up again after falling down a manhole.
John Lyne's misfortunes have included two lightning strikes, a rock-fall in a mine, nearly drowning and three car crashes.
Mr Lyne, 54, of Stainforth, near Doncaster, will be out of action for 32 weeks after his latest mishap, reports the Doncaster Free Press.
The accident damaged his back and injured his left leg and both knees - on top of a lifetime of broken bones.
Mr Lyne says he's not bitter - just glad to be alive.
"Everyone thinks it is just hilarious," he said. "My mates, family and wife Susan just laugh about it.
"I don't think there is any reason or explanation for it though, it has just happened really. I have to particularly be careful on the Friday 13ths, when a few accidents have fallen."
Mr Lyne's mishaps cover a lifetime. 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 hospital, his bus crashed, breaking the same arm in another place. The date was Friday the 13th.
