In 1995, news was once again made as he was knocked down by a Zagreb bus. The next year came the immortal man’s seventh and final famous disaster: A truck came barrelling towards his Skoda as he drove around a mountain road. This episode ending with Selak leaping free, only to watch in horror as the car exploded. THE TRUTH OF THE TALES? So, there it is. Is Selak the unluckiest man in human history, to have had all these disasters befall him, or is he actually the luckiest for having survived them? That depends. Is your glass half empty, or half full? It’s important to remember that there are some doubts about these seven separate claims. Selak himself certainly made sure to emphasize the drama of his life story, and plays up the effect these incidents had on him. “There came a stage when I was lucky to have any friends at all,” he once said. “Many stopped seeing me saying I was bad karma.” But where does the line between impossible fact and fiction start to blur? It’s true that there’s a lack of official verification of some of these incidents (the 1963 plane crash and the train crash before it, for instance), and some inconsistencies in the accounts. Whether this is down to failing memories, tall stories or something else, we may never know the whole truth of this man’s extraordinary life. One thing’s for certain, though: there was one more amazing piece to the puzzle, one nobody can deny. SELAK’S LUCK EVENS OUT In the mid-2000s, the lottery in Croatia was won by Selak, as though to make up for the horrible, horrible deal Lady Luck had given him. His jackpot was worth around £600,000. With this, he bought a luxurious home, only to have a change of heart and sell it in 2010. He returned to a humble life with his fifth wife. “All I need at my age is my Katarina. Money would not change anything… when she arrived I knew then that I really did have a charmed, blessed life.” Whatever happened along the way, Frane’s story has a happy ending. The last of his winnings was spent on a hip operation and on a shrine to the Virgin Mary in thanks for his good fortune.
