I've done my fair share of peak bagging and have seen some good electrical storms but I've never been hit by lightning and I don't know anybody who has. Getting hit by lightning is so rare that it's used to describe an extremely rare occurrence such as a deadly bear attack. So what's all the fearful talk about? Seems to me it's just another thing that "experienced" outdoorsmen use to scare the newfags. Sorry folks, I don't pack my fears.
