ruttinbuc Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Glad you are OK, Kyle! I had lightning hit a train trestle one time while fishing near it. Felt the tingle, but luckily the the pillars absorbed most of it. Lot of sparks. The tires on your vehicle are not the reason you are safe from lightning. MYTH: Rubber Tires Protect You From Lightning In A Car By Insulating You From The Ground TRUTH: Lightning laughs at two inches of rubber! Most cars are reasonably safe from lightning. But it’s the metal roof and metal sides that protect you, not the rubber tires. Thus convertibles, motorcycles, bicycles, open shelled outdoor recreational vehicles, and cars with plastic or fiberglass shells offer no lightning protection. Likewise, farm and construction vehicles with open cockpits offer no lightning protection. But closed cockpits with metal roof and sides are safer than going outside. And don’t even ask about sneakers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
