I took him to mean the gambler's fallacy of maturity of chance. If you've flipped 7 heads, the next flip is still 50-50 but the "gambler" thinks that tails is more likely. Once struck by lightening, the "gambler" thinks that another is less likely, because lightning striking the same person twice is so improbable. But the chances are really the same as before.
So if this happened to him at random from his perspective, beyond his control to influence at the moment it happened, how does he reduce the chances of it happening again? That would be my question.
