Onboard a boat
Boats are vulnerable to lightning strikes since they present exposed points on the
plain water surface. Keep off the deck and do not fish during a thunderstorm.
Go into the boat, crouch down and do not touch the rig or any other metal
objects.
Riding a bicycle
If on a bicycle or motorcycle, stop riding, seek shelter (for example under a
bridge) or crouch down at a distance of 1 m, or even better 3 m, from your
vehicle.
Note!
Install a lightning protection system on your boat. For more detailed informa-
