    Learn something about physics and you'll understand what happened in that video.

    Is that the same 90% of the 40% of people who have had 72% of the 23% of the lightning strikes that have survived the 85% of the 1024 strikes?
    Sorry - very facetious sounding. Are there actual stats about this?

    There's some info here under the "frequency" heading.

    Tbh i can't remember exactly where i've read/heard the stats before but i think there were a few figures thrown around between 10% and 30%

    You should read up on what happened and how it happened ....you're extremely lucky to be alive and not suffered serious injury

    We ran for the church which was the nearest building. it started hailing like crazy afterwards.

    I make videos and we were filming for one, i had the umbrella to protect my camera cause it isnt waterproof. it was probably the first time i had used one, and the last.
