Answer 1

ALERT! Do not click on the link in the previous answer, it tries to install an activeX component which is probably malware!

To answer the question, it would make no difference at all if you had a studded belt on. If you are inside a house you will not get struck by lightning whatever you are wearing, unless you are holding the cable to the aerial on the roof!

Answer 2

Individuals who are more likely to be struck by lightning put themselves in high-risk situations that increase their chance of being struck, such as being outdoors during a lightning storm. Metal on a person's body will conduct electricity once struck, and will likely cause a burn due to the extreme heat; however, it does not serve as a lightning rod or attraction unless it increases the height of the person, such as a metal umbrella, pole or other object carried over the head. A person who is the only object in the middle of a flat surface is also at greater risk of being struck. This may occur on a golf course, football field, or while hiking in the flat open tundra on a mountain.
