14-year-old Sophie was going for a walk with her friend, Mason Billington, when it started raining. The young friends took shelter from the rain under a tree and were sitting together when lightning struck. The lightning hit them both and they lost consciousness.

Then Mason woke up and carried Sophie to the nearest road in order to get help.

A car stopped and took them to hospital. Sophie had some burns on her chest and legs. She also had some damages to her eyes and ears, but fortunately she quickly recovered.

How did Sophie's MP3 player prevent her from having serious injuries?

When the accident happened, she wasn't listening to music on the player, but was wearing it around her neck. Doctors believe that the lightning travelled through the wire of the MP3 player instead through Sophie's body.

Even though she was lucky this time, one thing's for sure. The next time there's a storm, she and her friend won't sit underneath a tree!


Did you know?!

Lightning can travel at 150, 000 km per second!
