        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-
