All I have to say is, what a f***ing moron. You should always check the weather before going to a park. Either that or look at the flipping clouds. Storm clouds aren\'t that hard to spot :rolleyes:

Did the lighting appear from no where as an act of god? Cuz of not, i think the heavy rain and/or thuder and dark clouds shoulda told him to get the f out...

Cars ARE a safe place to be, you just don\'t touch anything metal, because the seats and interiors are all non-conductive.  Just make sure you aren\'t touching that metal door handle, or metal tuning knob....  The lightning will arc through the frame, it only jumps that last little bit.  Cars do get hit all the time by lightning though.

That\'s what I\'ve heard as well. But recently I saw an ad for Mercedes-Benz. They were pushing a car with improved lightning security (in lack of a better word). Something about leading the lightning around the body of the car I think.

That\'s the whole reason cars are good places.  The lightning goes around the shell of the body.  THey may have improved it a bit or are just advertising something every car has.
