Men or women: Who does lightning ltrike more often?

It has nothing to do with hormones or biology but numbers show more men are struck by lightning than women.

According to Popular Science, out of the 648 people struck by lightning between 1995 and 2008, 82% were men. Yes, 82%!

No, men aren't lightning magnets. Popular Science says they're just more likely to continue outdoor activities when bad weather hits, giving them an increased risk of being struck.

"Men take more risks in lightning storms," said John Jensenius, a lightning safety expert with the National Weather Service. "Men are less willing to give up what they're doing just because of a little inclement weather and will continue to engage in pastimes that make them vulnerable, such as fishing, camping and golfing."

In fact, sports-related or recreational activities are involved in almost half of all lightning-related deaths, according to Popular Science.

Most women agree this sounds like a scientific way of saying women are much smarter than men when it comes to lightning.
