A video has captured the stunning moment when a guy escaped a direct lightning strike in Jakarta, Indonesia.
According to local media, the 35-year-old man was on duty as a guard for a heavy machinery company on Jakarta’s northwestern outskirts when he was struck by lightning. A CCTV video of the incident has surfaced, showing the man walking in an open area with an umbrella in his hand while it was pouring. A lightning strike attacks the man a few seconds later, and sparks are visible flying in the clip. As a result, the man collapses to the ground, prompting his colleagues to rush for his rescue.

According to the media, the man survived the death strike but received burns on his hands. He was promptly sent to a nearby hospital for treatment and is now healing at home. The guard’s walkie-talkie, which he was holding, is thought to have caught the lightning discharge. Others felt that holding an umbrella enhanced the probability of being struck by lightning.
