Accordin g to meteor experts interviewed by the Washington Post, the last time someone was actually hit by a meteor was in 1954, "when the Sylacauga Alabama meteorite struck a woman named Elaine Hodges in her hip as she was taking a nap on her own couch. There is a famous Life magazine photo of her, showing a close up of her hip injury."

What are the chances of someone getting struck by a meteorite? One doctor recently found out, as he barely mised being in his office when a meteor hit it, sending his office space into disarray. "...Upon inspection, more debris lay inside the room. He saw three chunks of stone on the floor that together formed a rock about the size of a tennis ball, with a glassy-smooth surface. Then he saw a hole about the size of the rock in the tile ceiling, and a tear in the maroon carpet where the rock had landed," writes Paul Duggan of the Washington Post.
