Any ideas for de-jinxing this guy?

I wrote about him a long time ago (see "Goodbye, My Friend"). Today he went through something really terrible.

As you know, there are three of us (one of them being the guy I'm talking about, the other being the Incredible Hulk) who are collegues-turned-friends. From the day we met, there was something that went way beyond being collegues in office. The camaraderie was palpable. A lot of people noticed that. Especially because I have a reputation of being unapproachable. And here I was, having a great time with these guys.

There is so much time we have spent together, laughing our heads off while making fun of each other. The butt end of the jokes is usually the Hulk, who is actually a really cute stuffed Winny The Pooh. This guy has the most luck I have seen a single person carry. And it is in this singular aspect that the other guy falls short.

This guy's luck is so bad, things go out of the way to happen to him. If there is shit to happen, it will happen to him. If there are bugs in a particular piece of software, he will hit every single one of them. The only display to konk off on the new Mac Book line happened to him. The list of incidents just go on.

But today, something happened that really shook me. And I am sure it shook him as well.

The pair of them, along with a couple of friends, decided to go to Lake Tahoe (since they stay in the Bay Area and it's a relatively short drive). When they started driving up towards Tahoe, they got stuck in a blizzard with extremely low visibility. Even with this guy having a 4WD Merc with snow chains on, driving was not easy.

So they decided to not proceed and to turn back. Before they started on their way back, they needed to clear the ice that had formed on the windscreen which was stopping the wipers from working.

While this guy was clearing this, he realized that there was a car, with no snow chains on and a hysterical woman at the wheel, hurtling towards him. The car was completely out of control and was headed right at him. There was no way for him to move out of the way quickly because of the five feet of snow they were standing in.

Luckily, for all of us, the car slammed straight into the Merc and the impact threw this guy a fair distance, right on the snow. The Merc suffered a broken axel and my buddy a few bruises.

After a long tow back to the Bay Area and a visit to the doctor the nect morning, all of us can now take a sigh of relief. He is hurt a bit, but not seriously injured.

Thank God!

I don't know why these things keep happening to him, but they invariably do.

Anybody know a fairly fool proof de-jinxing method?
