You'd probably tell me to never wear a tinfoil hat in a lightning storm.

There have been quite a few people killed and injured by lightning on things like football pitches - the last place you want to be in a lightning storm is a very flat, open area and a football pitch fits the bill perfectly. Also more likely to happen if wearing metal football studs as you've basically made yourself into a human ground rod.

Yes, that's real bad
I hope he recovers



[A schoolboy is in a critical condition after he
and a man were struck by lightning
at a school football match.
The boy, 12, and the man, in his 50s, were
struck during a district tournament at
The Sele School in Hertford on Monday afternoon.

Staff at the school performed CPR on the boy
before the ambulances arrived
.

The East of England Ambulance Service (EEAST)
said the child was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital
in Cambridge in a critical condition.

The man was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital
in Harlow for further care.]

BB2 Stuart was in the Mirror article.

Quote:
Stuart Hosking, in his 50s, from Oxford, an AI business director and former contestant on Big Brother, said: "We were pretty close. I thought it was the sun setting, until I saw the flickering and smoke. The lights flickered in the house then a flash, then a rumble like thunder, but a single bang."
