[QUOTE="FlagMichael, post: 2738191, member: 910092"] Same as with other cars - your chances are good because the steel safety cage provides a very good path around you. The risks to the electrical system are the same as for other cars, too. If it hits the steel safety cage instead of the radio antenna the outlook is good. The tires do not provide a path to ground, though. Quite the opposite, they are good insulators for voltages up to about 50,000 volts. Lightning, with many millions of volts behind it, doesn't even care if you have tires or not. It matters as much as tissue paper would to a train. [/QUOTE]
