i do think this is quite stupid of them to hid under a tree in a storm. neither of them must have been listening in science. when i was 14 i knew better.

Was reading the paper this morning and found this story in an article:
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090619/tuk-lightning-teenager-saved-by-ipod-6323e80.html
For all the naysayers out there who think teens spend too much time listening to their Ipods ;)
The funny thing is, an iPod almost killed a girl in our town. She was crossing the street with the iPod blaring, and got hit by a car.

Because it was linked from a recent thread where I saw someone had been banned for a comment on this one. I was a curious to see what the bannable offense was.

I had no idea it was an old thread but thank you for your wonderful and pedantic policing of my terrible forum abuse, I hope it made you feel some form of authorative self satisfaction.

How's the view up there from your high horse?

Whoa, dude! Didn't mean to flip you out! I was just wondering why you commented on it, especially if you were just looking something up. You don't have to get defensive, I mean the dates are in the upper left corners of every post. Also, I don't see any horses around here.

Sorry I offended you, try not to take it too seriously.

do you think that voids her warenty?

because they wouldnt give me a new one for dropping it. id be pissed if they give her a new one for being a compleate dumb ass.
You broke it and tried to get a new one? WTF is wrong with you. Seriously. What goes through people's heads when they know it's their fault their shit isn't working- and they try to scam a store or manufacturer for a replacement?

If you bought a car and then crashed it the next day- would you take it back to the dealer and demand another?

God damn. Sorry for the off topic post but this touches a nerve.

I'm sorry too... I just came off a two hour session of MW2, so my rage levels were abnormally high.

No harm no foul

Maybe, its possible that the song she was listening to was just So bad, that the lightning redirected it's path in an attempt to neutralize the sound, instead of taking lives.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened, a girl was saved last year (IIRC) by her belly button piercing and her necklace, she also hid under a tree.

There was another one like it a couple of years ago almost the same story, jewelry saved someone's life and so on.

This begs the question. . .

Why the hell do these morons run for the trees at the first sight of lightening?

wow your thread title just reminded me of some poor dude I saw get hit by a car in the city years ago, listening to his Ipod he stepped out past the people at the crossing in front of a taxi racing to beat the lights, damn it was like watching a horror movie, but...... well..... been there.

I had just seen final destination!

I read about this ages ago, she was bloody lucky. As for being out in a lightning storm, they arn't usually that dramatic in England

Maybe I misread it, but wasn't it the Ipod that almost kill her, her only lucky break being that it wasn't hooked up to her ears? And I have to agree with Orannis; hiding under a tree was stupid.
No, I can see how the Ipod (or, more likely, the rubber ear buds) saved her. Much the same as how a car is safe because of the rubber tires, even though most of the rest is metal.
I'm too lazy to read on through the thread to see if you've been corrected but to think that a tiny bit of rubber is goin to save your ass... from lightening... you sir deserve a darwin award after you try it.

Anyway, anything like an IPod could have done it but she deserved to have it seriously zap her into a coma.

Wow, this thread is a blast from the past.

I may have already said this but she is one lucky person.
