Outdoor Classroom: Thunderstorm Weather Outdoor Activities How to Prevent Lightning Strike [Photo]

The recent thunderstorms are frequent and come quickly, making it hard to prevent. Summarized the precautions for thunderstorm events in our outdoor activities for your reference:

1. Do not stay at high places, such as the top of a hill, ridges, or roofs, and stop at empty places such as playgrounds and plazas.

2, swimming on the open water, boating is also easy to be struck by lightning, should quickly stop landing to find safe places to shelter from the rain.

3. Don't avoid rain in small, non-lightning buildings on open ground, such as work sheds, car sheds, umbrellas, small pavilions, etc. The inside of a car is a safe place to shelter from rain!

4, away from the exposed metal objects of buildings, such as: water pipes, gas pipes, etc., away from outdoor power equipment, such as transformer boxes, power distribution boxes, etc.

5, do not under the big rocks, the thunder of the cave to avoid thunderstorms; should not stay under the big tree, this is common sense, huh, huh.

6, thunder days reduce the wearing of metal jewelry, not suitable for outdoor ball activities. Be careful not to raise your racquets, umbrellas, and fishing rods and other items to avoid increasing the effective height to become a "tip" and be struck by lightning.

7. In the open air, when you see lightning, you hear thunder in 3-5 seconds, indicating that you are close to the danger zone; if there are ants crawling at the head, neck and hands, the hair is erected, indicating that a lightning strike will occur. At this point, you should immediately stop walking. Bring your feet together and immediately squat. Hold your knees with your hands together. Keep your chest tight against your knees. Lower your head as much as possible because the head is most vulnerable to lightning strikes compared to other parts of the body.

8, if you see the high-voltage line in the outdoors by lightning strikes break, at this time should be vigilant, because there is a stepping voltage near the breakpoint of the high-voltage line, do not pull the leg mad oh, because the greater the body's step, the greater the voltage, but also It is easy to hurt people. Should be feet together, jump off the scene (zomboo jump, will it, huh, huh).

Avoid thunder showers in the urban areas, and stay away from metal objects, iron railings, tall billboards, etc. Do not stand under the roof or crowded in the mall to hide from the rain, it is best to enter the room waiting for "rainy weather."

The following are some of the lightning protection measures provided by Germany's “outdoor” in order to provide for everyone:
