Ya, that's just stupid. Electricity is going to run to the ground unless it's being directed. And your tires are on the ground. And they are likely steel belted tires.

It's just a myth because people don't understand the metal frame of the car is what protects you. As long as you don't touch anything metal.

Seems quick. I would prefer that over many alternatives.

I know I’m a retard when it comes to understanding electricity, but you’re saying that if he’d have not held onto that handle he’d have been ok? (And/or if he’d stayed in the truck?)
Genuine question. I’m like the person another poster mentioned who thought if they had rubber tyres on their bike they’d be ok in a lightening storm! ::
