Lightning protection systems - What they do and don't do. A lightning protection system's only purpose is to ensure safety to a building and its occupants if lightning happens to hit it directly, a task accomplished by providing a good, safe path to ground for the lightning to follow.
In a thunderstorm, the safest place to be is inside a large building equipped with lightning rods. A vehicle such as a car provides complete protection by surrounding you with metal, which will conduct the lightning's charge safely to the ground. But it you are caught outside, don't stand under a tree.
