Lightning protection (again), water and swimmers
Following on from the recent discussion of lightning strikes what is the
expert opinion here of what to do when a storm arrives and you're swimming? The instant reaction of almost everyone today was to get out of the water but I have a nagging doubt. In the water I was not going to provide a preferential path to earth, although a strike would have caused the potential of the whole lake to rise surely I would have simply floated with it. Out of the water I was standing on the bank soaking wet and probably more of a target for a strike, a few mm of wet neoprene certainly wasn't going to protect me. So what have I missed? |
