To start with, merely after 3 decades of his life, In January, 1962, while traveling in a train to Dubrovnik from Sarajevo. The train suddenly derailed, plunging both his passengers and itself into a very icy river, 17 passengers succumbing to it. Frane however, narrowly escaped with just a few bruises and minor scrapes and a broken arm.
That not being enough, on his way to Rijeka from Zagreb on plane, the plane door dangled away off the cockpit, pushing him out of the plane. It is alleged that, nearly 20 people got killed, Frane however only suffered just minor injuries, miraculously he also landed simply in haystack.
1966, while riding on a bus, it crashed plunging into a river. 4 others people passed on, Frane managed to escape totally unharmed.
In 1970, Frane Selak, managed to get away before a faulty fuel pump cleared his car into flames.
In 1973, Frane Selak's car, caught fire,compelling fire via the air vents.It is said that he sufferedvirtually injuries thereby saving the loss of most of his hair.
In 1995, Franc got hit by a city bus, but as usual he only suffered minor injuries.
As if that was not enough, 1996 Frane did escape when he drove off a cliff in an attempt to escape an oncoming truck. Frane however did manage to land in a tree,while watching car exploding almost 300 feet just below him.
Though he prefers to be considered world's luckiest man, he can also be considered as the world's unluckiest man.
