Abstract
Two young boys were struck by lightning during summer outdoor activities. One of them died. A literature review reveals that the most commonly reported locations of childhood lightning injuries are on the playing field, at the swimming pool, and in tents. Knowledge of measures to lower the risks of lightning strikes as well as the use of new lightning detection technology should help to reduce the numbers of these tragic events in the future.Entities:
