<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 2665085, member: 11668&quot;]Well, I don&#039;t know much about lightning strikes, so I can&#039;t be sure this is the right explanation, but....&nbsp; Mathematically, it&#039;s probably taking into account the fact that some people are just more likely than others to get struck by lightning (because they work outdoors or whatever), so if you&#039;ve been struck by lightning once, then that identifies you as somebody who&#039;s probably more likely to be struck by lightning than the average person.&nbsp; Then your chance of being struck by lightning *again* isn&#039;t 1 in 12,000 any more, but apparently 1 in 750, if these figures can be trusted.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, it could just be another case of inaccurate nonsense getting spread around the internet.&nbsp; Like I said, I don&#039;t know enough about lightning strikes to judge the plausibility of these figures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
