A 7-year-old boy was struck by lightning when he came home from school, just because his mother ignored this little thing! Be careful

Some time ago, I took my children to stay with my cousin for a few days. I originally thought about having fun at the beach, but I didn\’t expect that God would not show any \”good looks\” to me. On the second day after arriving, there was continuous heavy rain and thunder. Bad thunderstorms caused water and power outages in many areas, and even traffic lights were not working at some intersections. The elevators of some high-rise buildings were also affected, and I accidentally got trapped in the elevator… My cousin said that around this time last year, there was a heavy rain here one day, with lightning and thunder. A 7-year-old child forgot to bring an umbrella when he went to school. He had to ride his bicycle home in a thunderstorm after school. Unfortunately, he was struck by lightning in the chest and thigh. His heartbeat stopped on the spot and his lips turned purple. Although he was rescued later, his brain was seriously injured, and the skin on his body was burnt, as if it was burnt. He was in critical condition. If parents could have warned their children not to run or ride in thunderstorms, this tragedy might have been avoided… It is summer now, and it is a season where thunderstorms are more common. I hope that all parents will ensure the safety of their children. educate. Don’t think that lightning accidents are far away from us. According to incomplete statistics, there are as many as 3,000 to 4,000 casualties caused by lightning strikes in our country every year, and the number is still increasing year by year. Children have delicate bodies and weak safety awareness. Some even like to play and fight in the rain. Once danger occurs, the consequences will be really disastrous! Common knowledge on daily protection against lightning strikes: Do not play with mobile phones during thunderstorms, especially when charging a mobile phone. Using mobile phones during thunderstorms will greatly increase the risk of lightning strikes. Moreover, the explosion of mobile phones caused by lightning strikes can also cause great harm to the human body. In addition, it is best not to use the landline during thunderstorms and unplug other household appliances. Although today\’s buildings have lightning protection devices, they do not have good defense capabilities against lightning transmitted along overhead wires and telephone lines. If the wires outside the house are aged and exposed, the possibility of lightning strikes will be increased. Do not take shelter from the rain on roofs or under trees. Towering trees, flagpoles, rooftops and other building tops, as well as isolated sheds and pavilions are all places that can easily trigger thunder. Be sure to stay away during thunderstorms. Take shelter from the rain and play in these places. Do not stay on the water, waterside, or depressions during thunderstorms. It is very dangerous to swim, play, boat, fish, wash clothes, etc. outdoors. You must evacuate in advance, stay away from the water, and move to a nearby dry place to take shelter from the rain. Don\’t run in a thunderstorm. Running in a thunderstorm will produce what is called \”step voltage.\” The larger the step, the greater the voltage, and the greater the damage caused by lightning strikes. Don\’t ride bicycles, electric vehicles, or motorcycles in the rain during thunderstorms, as this will also cause lightning strikes. Keep away from metal objects and metal objects held high above the ground are more likely to cause lightning strikes. Therefore, when walking during a thunderstorm, it is best to put away iron rackets, iron bats, iron toys and other iron tools. When taking shelter from the rain, you should also pay attention to check whether there are flagpoles, wires, water pipes, gas pipes, iron fences, iron clotheslines, etc. that are exposed to the rain nearby. If there are any, stay away. Don’t go barefoot in the rain. Many adults put their shoes in plastic bags for fear of damaging them.Walk on your feet; children are playful and like to run around barefoot in the rain. This doesn\’t matter in ordinary rainy days, but if you walk barefoot in a thunderstorm, the human body is in direct contact with the earth, and the insulation function of the sole is missing, increasing the possibility of being struck by lightning. Therefore, remember to ask your children to wear good shoes on rainy days. It would be better to have a pair of rain boots. Do not use solar or electric water heaters for showering. The main part of the solar water heater is installed on the roof. If the water pipes are aged and cracked, there is a certain risk of introducing lightning into the room. In addition, the bathrooms in most families are set up next to the windows, and the windows are equipped with iron anti-theft bars, which to a certain extent also increases the risk of showering during thunderstorms. Do not walk near broken power lines. During thunderstorms, power lines that were originally installed at high places may be blown off by strong winds and fall to the ground, causing voltage to exist on the nearby ground. If your child happens to be nearby at this time, be sure not to run or walk around, otherwise you will easily get an electric shock due to \”step voltage\”. The safest way is to put your feet together and jump away. Do not open doors and windows. During thunderstorms, remember to close doors and windows. Do not let children get close to doors or windows, let alone reach out of the window playfully, or even touch the anti-theft iron bars. Emergency survival knowledge: (1) If there is a sudden emergency with lightning and thunder and there is no time to escape, do not run screaming, as this will only increase the risk of lightning strikes. The safe way is to throw away the metal objects on your body as soon as possible, put dry and insulating things such as backpacks and books on the soles of your feet to reduce the contact area with the earth, and then squat down with your chest close to your knees and your head as low as possible. If you have something like a raincoat or a large plastic bag on hand, you can put it on your body, which can greatly reduce the risk of lightning strikes. (2) During a thunderstorm, if you suddenly feel like ants crawling on your arms and neck and your hair stands on end, this means that a lightning strike is about to happen! At this time, it is definitely too late to find something to put your feet on or put on a raincoat. You must lie down on the ground immediately to reduce the damage caused by lightning strikes. The more safety skills you teach your children, the more life safety you will have. If you don\’t pay attention to safety now, if an emergency happens, safety won\’t care about you either!
