Many years ago I did a study on weather related deaths and many resulted from lightening strikes. Of those struck, most of them were playing golf. The most interesting one I had found was a shooter who was wearing a hat made from beer cans.

golf. Lightning always strikes the tallest object in the area, and on the golf course, the people represent the tallest object. The best place to be when it's lightning is in a forest because you are the shortest object

Golf. For many reasons. First of all, you are out in the open and your metal clubs are a lightening rod. You are wet. There are lots of golfers. You golf in the summer.

Skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding, etc.
On the ground, it would be golf, because you have a conductor in your hand (golf club), and you are the tallest object in the area.
On water, you don't want to be in a canoe or anything made out of metal. =P

fishing in an aluminum canoe. My sister's friend got hit by lightning doing that in Jr. High and almost died.

Flying a Hang glider or paraglider.
Mountaineering.
or- for fun, how about "Pole Vaulting" with the old aluminum poles, not the new fiberglass ones.

I would say ''Golf'' but also Baseball when you play with a metal bat. =)
