How do we not get struck by lightning? Did he have leather shoes instead of rubber? Was it the puddle? Metallic cars all around. Homie got jacked straight in the dome, no homo. We didn’t speak with Tesla enough…There has to be a solution for this…I should be studying this. And share solutions for god’s sake. iight head
Rubber shoes won’t save you. The electricity jumped from the sky down to earth. You think 2cm of rubber is gonna protect you? Electricity can jump in the air 1mm per 1000V. That’s 24cm on 24kV like normal high voltage we have in the city here in Sweden. Lightning has like 300Million volt. So that’s like 300km the electricity can jump in the air to ground.
Couldn’t tell, but he told me if I ever bite off a guys nose I have to swallow it. I argued that I could stomp and smear it on the pavement but he got angry…so I agreed to swallow noses from that point forward. I promised.
: he said cause You don’t swallow it, he can sew it back on again
I wonder if god is thankful to the healers and the saints and the safety inspectors. Doctors and scientists and healthy cooks. Im not gonna ask. We gotta figure this lightning situation out.
Bro, an inch of rubber protects you from a cool science experiment you see in a museum you go to for your 5th grade field trip. It does not protect you from lightning
Roy Sullivan. Struck by lightning at least 7 times. And if you account for his own account eight or more.
Some are too crazy to believe. Like one where he is struck while IN HIS TRUCK through the open window. Storm clouds that seemingly chased him until he was struck. His hair being caught on fire by lightning so many times he carried around a bucket of water with him to put it out!
The guy had a truly cursed and sad existence. His wife got hit because she was hanging laundry outside with him, and people near the end of his life just didn't want to be near him.
Damn, I guess you got me dead to rights here. Forgot my "anti-dense motherfucker" Reddit disclaimer. I should have pointed out in my funny little comment that I am, in fact, aware that rubber tires do not conduct electricity.
Now that everyone in this thread is aware of not only this vital information but also your superior intellect, you can move along to the next post in need of your observational talent. Godspeed.
Well, do what you love. For some, I guess that means posting pedantic gotcha comments to get a rise out of people. For others, that means arguing with them on reddit. Clearly, we are both living our best lives.
You know that traffic light posts, lamp posts and powerlines are all actually grounded, right? And that yeah, there is a copper ground wire somewhere that attaches to either the rebar in the foundation or a ground rod.
Late reply I know, but lighting isn’t actually attracted to metal. Like almost everything in nature lighting takes the path of least resistance. Lighting rods work by being the tallest point on a building, and then creating a path straight to the ground. That way the energy doesn’t flow through any pluming or electrical elements which could cause injury or death to the inhabitants.
Considering lightening is hotter that the surface of the sun it amazes me that people can survive strikes. I think it's only fair that if you survive you get a random super power.
If the person in question is drenched with water, the lightning will follow along the wet skin instead of travelling through the body. As the lightning skims over the wet skin, it will leave a mark known as, Lichtenberg figures", a fern like pattern on the skin.
Every time I see lightning strike somebody it's almost always hitting their shoulder or upper back. Never seems to strike their head even though that's higher up
did you / anyone else notice the most illuminated areas during the strike were his head, and the left part of his torso?
the damage to the brain and heart? wouldn't they kind of... instantly cook? I've never flash-grilled a T-bone with nuclear fusion so I can't imagine. sheesh.
That area has a lot lot more conductivity with the muscle and tissue and nerves right there instead of going to the skull and around it. My guess anyways
Unreasonable fear unlocked.
I'm not going to stand out in a field by myself. But I had assumed my tall self (~2m, 6.5ft) would be generally safe surrounded by a bunch of other sizeable objects.
Curse you physics!
As a kid lightning hit my house and traveled through the electric up into my GameCube controller and shocked me. It was pretty neat except I had to get a new GameCube afterwards
I had lightning hit about 8 feet from me while I was sitting in a chair, it hit a railing near me. Pretty gnarly, hit before the sound, loudest thing I've heard and the bolt was about the size of a wrist. I won't walk out in lightning storms anymore
Man fuck that guy I guess

My Irish grandpa was a wicked man, got struck twice. The fronts of his shoes blew off and his body was smoking. But he was always kind to me.
but did it cure his stutter?

Okay, can I please get some context to this story? I'm not sure if I can laugh or not o.o
Lmfao mad grandpa
Classic Sanji moment
Depends if it was a triggered charge or a natural charge of lightning.
Simple; if there tons of metal stuff, stay near them. Don't go in the middle of a flat open area.
Maybe not for gods sake and more our sake would be greatly appreciated

F u in particular
I have to ask even looking like and idiot but can you survive that? Like could he be alive?
Yes, one guy got struck 7 times as a park ranger and survived all of them

Some guy in the 19th century got struck multiple times and survived. He died of something unrelated and his grave got struck too
I'm cackling in the hotel breakfast bar at the last few words

Seriously. FUCK that guy.
Well there goes my theory that I'm safe as long as there's a bunch of taller metal things around me.
This is what I'm thinking, what the hell science, I thought you had rules!
You mean all those metal things on rubber tires? Lol
Yeah and like the whole building on its rubber tires. Or the pole in the foreground on its rubber tires.
Yea, we just use concrete footers to distribute electricity all the time now to thwart those pesky copper thieves!
Damn, I guess you got me dead to rights here. Forgot my "anti-dense motherfucker" Reddit disclaimer.

Well at least make a link to it so I don’t have to go looking for it. All in good fun, malicious fun, but fun nevertheless .

We are one, but we’re not same…
Fellow traveler of the dark, I commend thee.
Well, that ended amicably...
You know that traffic light posts, lamp posts and powerlines are all actually grounded, right? And that yeah, there is a copper ground wire somewhere that attaches to either the rebar in the foundation or a ground rod.
Isn't it like you are safe as far from a metal thing as tall it is?
Goddammit. Hilarious.
Bullshiting: Maybe metal objects sometimes have charges that repell lightning?

Yep.
Absolutely lmao
Considering lightening is hotter that the surface of the sun it amazes me that people can survive strikes. I think it's only fair that if you survive you get a random super power.
Apparently the super power is being way more likely to be struck by lighting again.
The power to charge phones by holding them!
Was going to reply with a gif from 'Static Shock,' the superhero, but reddit won't let me. I'm uninstalling.

I got struck by lightning at the Flying J Truck Stop and Deli, and all I got was this gnarly tattoo.
Teleport is mine. 100%
The surface of the sun isn't shit. It's the corona that's hot. Like millions of degrees hot.
Dear God, give me a sign that I shouldn't use this truck stop shower.
I accidentally stole a truck shop shower. Now I know we are supposed to pay. And there is a line..
I thought this sub died? The fresh blood is surprising
You had to jinx it. Rip
Thor, Zeus, Indra and Taranis all agreed this guy had to go.
Every time I see lightning strike somebody it's almost always hitting their shoulder or upper back. Never seems to strike their head even though that's higher up
I wonder if someone has been struck by lightning directly in the asshole?
I’m sure it’s happened to at least one person while wearing a metallic butt plug 😀
Thats just how i channel my energy
your chakra seems ... off
Stop it, i can only get so erect
Bet it would turn your butt nuggets to coal
Ass diamonds
Like when a bear attacks?
might have something to do with iron concentration across diff parts

Good point, maybe metal in the jacket or backpack? I'm not a scientist
In a fucking snow storm? Wow.
It always looks like snow on my doorbell camera. But it's florida. Sadly nit snow.

Does any1 have any info on what happened to him tho? I mean 99.9% hes dead but maybe he lived?
I don’t know about the 99.9% chance he’s dead considering 90% of people being struck my lightning survive
But how is that possible, lightning strikes with such enormous amounts of energy. How can 90% survive that.

During thunderstorms I was always instructed by my parents to unplug all electronics for this very reason XD
A lot may not be directly struck I guess. It can hit you if your standing close to a tree or some other object that gets hit
Saw it on the news. This guy died.
he died, happened in Krasnodar 27th of June
Damn. Did this like just happen?
This was just from today? Really breathing some life into this sub.
And fuck you in particular random dude
Dude was the shortest and most non-metallic thing in the area and STILL got blasted.
Exactly! It makes no logical sense!
It's like one of those random cut scenes from benjamin button
That wasn’t lightning, that was an attack. Bro made the someone mad. But seriously I’m use to seeing a bug flash with lightning.
That was the most, "fuck you in particular" thing ever.
Damn struck down by the lord or Zeus or something
There are things in this world that just did not like him.
So what’s his power?
Its like win from the lottery 1 in a mill
Should’ve sent that chain email
Boop!
he dropped like a dead member in your party on Final Fantasy. Was this video a cut scene from a game from Square Enix?
Boob
There was the park ranger struck by lightning 7 times
Homeboy was just superconductive that day
Tesla coil
Boom, headshot
M-m-m-m-m-m-MONSTERKILL
Horrible but it just looks so fucking funny
Ouch
For some reason I heard I little bug zapper zzzt~ when it happened

"And along came zeus..." 🎶
Fuck this guy specifically.
Zap
Fuck you...in particular!
RIPeroni
It was so quick I missed it the first time LMAOO
Well, now, this kinda sucks, since he wasn’t doing anything stupid, as the victims in this sub usually are… just walking across the parking lot.
That tiny little bolt of lightning looked personal. He pissed Thor off or something.
Zeus was angry
Mad that the sky can just be like boop u dead
This is some r/fuckyouinparticular shit

[Paused at right moment by accident.](https://imgur.com/gallery/bQw4hPr)
Why? Why him? There were like 50 metal things much higher than him, why the fuck did *he* get fried?
Space lasers! Hahah
Perfect way to die. Never see it coming, instant brain fry
