It does happen. I was crewing in a sailboat race during a thunder storm, and holding on to the jib sheet in case we got hit by a blast of wind and needed to let it out quickly.

Lightning struck the water about 20 yards away, and I felt a surge of electricity come up my arm through the wet sheet.

I let go of it.

It was certainly a shocking experience. Obviously I only got a little bit of the lightning bolt. I presume something similar happened to this lady, or she wouldn’t still be with us.

Metallic taste in mouth, brown stains in pants. She's lucky to be alive.

I had lightning strike close enough to feel it in my mouth, as well as a metallic taste.

I sure don’t treat it lightly.
