What it’s like to be struck by lightning - People Got Struck By Lightning And Survived

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents states that ’30-60 people are struck by lightning each year in Britain, and on average, 3 (5-10%) of these strikes are fatal.’ The last population estimate for the UK from the Office for National Statistics was 65,648,100, so if 60 people are hit by lightning every year then that is one in every 1,094,135 people.
