So.... obviously being caught on Via ferrata in a thunderstorm would be 'a bad thing'. But how bad a thing?
Clearly you don't want to be holding a metal cable on top of a ridge, but if you're not the tallest thing around is it any worse than not being clipped onto a metal cable?
Am I being simplistic with my assumption that if cable / pegs were hit by lightening that would be fine as they're earthed (by their very nature) and that my body wouldn't even come into it as i'm a poor conductor?
