Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crouching down with feet together and balancing on toes makes the person have minimal contact with the ground and reduces the risk of being struck by lightning. Laying flat on the ground may increase the risk of being struck. Taking shelter under tall trees is dangerous as they attract lightning. Using an umbrella during thunderstorm is also hazardous as it also attracts lightning.
