iPod Saves Lightning Strike Victim
(June 19) -- Sophie Frost was lucky to receive an ipod from her grandmother, not just for enjoying tunes on the go but for saving her life several days later when she was struck by a powerful bolt of lightning.
The 14-year-old British girl was hit by a 300,000-volt bolt while she and her boyfriend were standing underneath a tree. Although the impact knocked them both out and left them with minor burns, the electricity was diverted away from her vital organs, the Daily Mail reported.
Skip over this content Shocking Savior Sophie Frost,14, was spared the worst part of a lightning strike when the electricity followed her iPod headphones to the ground away from her key organs.
Experts credit her survival to the fact that the headphones to her digital music player were hanging from her clothes, away from her body.
Physicians also attribute her good fortune to her boyfriend, Mason Billington, 14, who was holding her hand at the time and thus diluted some of the powerful current.
"I'm doing OK. I'm doing well," Frost told the Daily Mail. "I've had a few burns down my body but it's all healing OK."
RANDOM!
