Question

If you're in a tanning bed during a lightning storm do you increase your risk of getting electrocuted?

Answer 1

Sure. If the lightning strikes the power lines around your house, you're in trouble.

Answer 2

Ha this question reminded me of Final Destination 3.. Man that would suck.

Answer 3

Actually the probability of your being injured by lightning is very small but when you are using any electrical device there is a chance you will be injured.  The most common item is the telephone (land line) that a current surge will follow the telephone line into the house and do some damage.  A tanning bed has a similar risk but many more people will be using the phone than the tanning bed.  Water also is a hazard..a swimming pool and a cast iron bathtub are good conductors.  Pool employees and tanning employees probably have orders to clear the area when there is an electrical storm.
