Don't ever try lightning, screwed me up pretty bad for a couple of weeks. Luckily I wasn't hit by the leader but it still threw me about ten feet. Had a sore jaw and and really sore heel for awhile. The Dr. explained that I was likely hit in the head and it exited through my foot.shouldn't have been carrying that metal canoe on your head

Lightning Rods for everybody.

Pulsating DC is no picnic either! A card punch I serviced (the old days of computing with tab cards) used 90volts pulsating DC, you talk about hurt! You only made that mistake once.

In 40 years I have never been hit with AC, now at a power generating station I think it was 150 volts DC, that hurts and burns you for some reason I got that one twice.

I had a friend that was working under a mobile home doing some plumbing and a storm came up. Lightning hit a little ways away from the trailer and he had ahold of one of the tie downs (hurricane straps) and he died instantly. His helper was under the house with him and he said he was about 5 feet from him and didnt feel a thing.
Be careful out there! You never know when it is your time. Live every day like it is your last.

Believe it or not but I was given the nickname Canoehead before it happened.........My truck was between myself and the main leader and took a pretty good blast from what I remember cause the last thing I saw was either sparks or stars not certain. Next time I went to use it every light on the dash came on and my ecu was scrambled. -
Would anyone be opposed if I closed this thread. It has kinda veered off course. I just need a few to give me an OK.
