Lightning is electricity(untamed one for this matter) chances are the electric voltage is too high and it will smoke you once it hits you. However, If the electric voltage is too low and the material surrounding you is not flamable and as well is a good conductor of electricity you'll not be burnt. The current will flow to the ground and get neutralized.
people have survived others have died.

comparable as with different autos - your possibilities are high stable simply by fact the steel risk-free practices cage grants an exceptionally stable course around you. the hazards to the electrical powered equipment are the comparable as for different autos, too. If it hits the steel risk-free practices cage somewhat of the radio antenna the outlook is stable. The tires do no longer furnish a course to floor, although. extremely the choice, they're stable insulators for voltages as much as approximately 50,000 volts. Lightning, with many thousands and thousands of volts in the back of it, does not even care in case you have tires or no longer. It concerns as much as tissue paper might to a prepare.

My dad has survived two strikes but they weren't direct hits. i dunno what the odds of surviving a direct hit are but I wouldn't think they are very great
