Not lucky exactly MM. I read one report which said that he calculated the strategy and expected to lose a limb or so, but live - as he went for it.

Protection of his mates was his motivation, and it was a calculated risk, albeit it a very fast one.

Very brave, as you say, and the risk paid dividends. I don't think luck really played much of a part in this case; a soldier at work.
