| 568518 | 2007-07-12 22:18:00 | Intelligent Rules To Follow RULE 1 ~ Do not jog or drive or rapidly perambulate in any form while wearing sound-blocking devices . RULE 2 ~ Do not stand on high places, under a lone tree, hold a golf club, wear electronic devices during a lightning storm . 1) An 18-year-old Colorado mowing his lawn wearing his iPod (Violation of RULE #1) while a storm passed in the distance (Violation of RULE #2), happily listening to Metallica (Violation of an uncited, but good RULE anyway) . Lightning hit a nearby tree, veered off, and hit him, rupturing both eardrums and leaving burns that traced his earbud wires down his face and body and culminated in a charred spot on the hip where he carried the iPod . 2) A 39-year-old Vancouver area man who was jogging in a thunderstorm (Read RULE #1 and #2 again) and wearing his iPod; music type unknown . Not only was he burned and deafened, but his jaw was broken in four places from the involuntary muscle contractions . What have we learned here? Wearing earbuds when using heavy equipment, operating tools or mechanical devices or undertaking physical training can cause broken bones . Don't perform body-building or sports activities while in the midst of a lightning storm . Over-trained jaw muscles are dangerous . iPods attract lightning Listening to heavy metal music is dangerous to your ears . |
