Jason Bunch, 18, the victim, told that the strom was quite far off distance. Lighting struck on a nearby tree and zip, shot off and got him. Bunch was listening to Metallica while mowing the grass at his home in Castle Rock, Colorado, just wasn't sure if its tuned to the band's Ride the Lighting album. He still has mild hearing damage in both of his ears, despite the fact 2 reconstructive surgeries to his ruptured eardrums. {scaa=Metallica;iPod;lighting,thunder} Its not that "Gods hate iPod" as there's other similar cases. "Last month, a 15-year-old British girl was struck by lightning while talking on her mobile phone in a London park. She suffered a burst eardrum and a cardiac arrest. Fortunately, she lived to tell the tale." News from The Register, U.K.. 2 year ago, another canadian a church musician and...iPod user, struck by lighting while he was enjoying "religious music"...ok, maybe Gods does hate... Apple Inc. declined to comment to the case. Well, packaging and safety guides of iPods and other music players does include warning against using them in the rain. {scaa=creative,zen,vision,m;iPod} Next time when there's a storm happening somewhere around you (assume that you're outdoor), don't use yours electronic devices with wires (like your Zen Vision's earphones, est.). If you really have to answer to a phone call, answer it directly.
