Did I miss it? when did he talk about how to survive a lightning strike?
When he concluded by saying don't go near storms. Pretty smart eh?
Nope he did not say how. I do not want to believe BBC is lowering itself to clickbait, but . . . .
He just said not to go near storms😑😑😑
It’s really easy
Don’t go out side while storm
I thought i might give a brief story about CPR for those who are new or inexperienced with it just to sort of elaborate the importance of it.
In January 2011 twenty five people lined up after a man collapsed from a heart attack.
They performed CPR for over 1,5 Hours while they waited for the EMS to arrive.
The man who suffered the heart attack, recovered shortly after arriving to the hospital.

I was struck by lightning in Florida 15 years ago, I credit the stranger who witnessed it with saving my life and calling EMT's.
Ok
I once felt very light headed durihg a storm, and then a strike hit the corner of the house about 50cm above my head. Everything went pink, and for about 5 seconds I couldn't have told you a single thing about myself. The first thing I remember afterwards was the strong smell of ozone and the faint taste of blood at the back of my throat
My friend Alan was hit by lightning while climbing a mountain, alone. He just climbed himself down.
frosted1030 good job Alan!
There were stories in my family of the kitchen being hit by ball lighning and the floors just vobrating like pondwater ripples during the strike. The house has since been sold, but the story would be an interesting one to tell for why the outlet had to be replaced. It's not often you get to boast as a real-estate agent that the house was a surivor of a ball-lightning strike.
I had a lightning bolt come crashing down in my yard only a few meters off. It was near blinding, the thunder was so loud it nearly shattered the windows and even though it did not hit me I felt a jolt run through me.
A similar thing happened to me recently. Lightning must have struck the backyard because the thunder was so instant, it was literally an explosion.
Why are there no useful tips in this story at all to people that find themselves in a lighting storm?
Hey everyone, been a while, how you doing? It's nice to be back!
Nice to see you back Greg. Do these videos of yours air on BBC?
lockhrt999 not these ones no. Some other clips go the other direction: start on TV and then become highlight clips here on Earth Lab. Eg chunks from my Secrets Of Everything series. Go to the Earth Lab homepage and you’ll see a playlist of those 👍
Hey i missed you....
Busy with Brexit
It's not the volts that kill you, it's the current. Keep that in mind ;)
Could sell grounded selfie sticks for that lake area.
Better yet, make them out of a super-conductive metal to remove the sort of people who use selfie sticks from the gene pool.
They would ground it by placing a bag of dirt in their pockets anyways.
fireaza
🤣
The law of large numbers: One in a million events happen 300 times a day in the USA alone.
(Yes. Handwaving mode engaged.)
I used to live in Florida...now I'm in the UK. I don't think I've ever even seen lightning here before. Back in FL, there would be horrendous lightning storms every time it rained. Here thouogh? I've literally not seen one lightning bolt. Sorta miss them. And the heat.
Cuddling Greg could get your heart started, for sure.
Wouldn't a Faraday cage protect you if you were taking pictures in the middle of a lightning storm?
Chad Atchison it would
glad to see you again!
Quick Look n Teardown 👋
Is freaking out.
I love you Greg
Catatumbo lightning (Spanish: Relámpago del Catatumbo)
the safe place to be in a lightnig storm is in a motor car not because of rubber tyres but because of the metal of the car electricity conducts around it to earth...
Anyone else thinking of the firebending technique in Avatar the Last Airbender?
You missed the title
Noice Gregory
Your lights are bad
Or you can say you have bad lightning
I know someone who was hit by lightning TWICE... his hands shake now slightly
In 2016 my granddad got struck by lightning and he was rushed to hostpital, thats how he survived
This one time lightning stoke about 2 feet from me.
Zeus why? what have we done
Chest compressions should be given, NOT BREATHS! It’s 2018, you should KNOW THIS!
30 compressions : 2 breaths...
I I la someone who survived getting hit y lightning
Does lightning travel up not from the sky? so wouldn't hit head first?
My understanding is that yes, lightning actually travels up from the ground a small amount and the strike comes down to meet it. So it would still hit your head first. Before anyone takes the piss, go look it up.
-first- !!
Too many words for so poor information... really annoying
Why don't you put subtitles in the videos? It'll help other people whose English is not fluent to understand clearly and it'll help you attract more viewers as well
Subtitles are annoying. Learn English, than watch. It is actually supposed for people who can English 🤷
You can turn the subtitles off if they annoy you
Kinda agree
Wild Detective if this comment is genuine then the irony is bliss XD
+Wild Detective Then* awkward...
My second name is Thor (Þór). :D
Yet another clickbait title.
Nitin Saurabh No it isn't, he clearly says that CPR can save one's life after a lightning strike
trampolini40 6:03 "Unfortunately, the only sure fire way of surviving a lightning storm is to be nowhere near one At All".
Don't know about you mate, but that's clickbait right there.
Greg is greatly misinformed about Venezuela's Catatumbo lightning, it's ocurr among the cloud itself and hardly lands into the ground, landing in Caracas is a million times more dangerous than standing into a electric storm to watch the lightning, because of the rampant criminality and violence involved.
