Lightning kills rider

Do Carbon Fiber helmets =

Sad, but ATGATT needs a rubber backup under-layer there obviously!

This guy got the completely wrong idea about ATGATT though!

Not quite the way to ride into the sunset, so to speak.

We would all do well to pay heed to the hazard posed by lightning.

Death and injury by lightning is far more common than most people realize, and far higher probability event than many others that seem to scare people, such as shark bites, and so on.

If you can see lightning, you should be under cover -- that's BIG overhead cover -- NOT just your helmet.

You're pretty safe in your car... the Faraday Cage effect.

But on a bike, in a lightning storm, you are simply a .... TARGET.
