Well there might be some truth to "ok kids out of the pool, I see lightning", not to mention having to deal with the whole air tank exploding thing. Im surpised he got hit and not the boat... i guess path of least resistance was not on his side!

Maybe he made one of those challenges that ends with "... or God may strike me down with a bolt of lightning" and lost

i really dont think the thunderstorming came out of no where... so with all due respect...if anyone is... he was asking for it,

(with a metal air tank attached to his back...as well as metal weights around his waist...)
im sure he's dove in conditions like this before but what was he thinking?

w/e man, not my life to judge... hope it was a good dive...sincerely

I dont have any pitty on him, your looking for trouble if your anywhere on the water when there is a storm.

Well look on the bright side, he went out in a blaze of glory. We should all hope that we die in such a manner as for it to end up on spikedhumor.

I live in south florida and this isn't an unusual event. More often it's swimmers who get struck. Going anywhere near the coastline is just asking to become a human lighning rod.

"i really dont think the thunderstorming came out of no where... so with all due respect...if anyone is... he was asking for it"

Storms do pretty much just come out of nowhere in Florida. If he was underwater when it happened, he would not have known. Also, there have been lightening strikes on people who were no where near the storm. When I lived there back in 91 someone got struck in Dayton Beach. He was over 5 miles from where the storm was passing.

"To see if he drown, or was electrocuted."

I don't think you can dispute the fact that THE MOTHER FUCKER WAS ELECTROCUTED! HE WAS HIT BY LIGHTNING YOU STUPID CUNT!

Sure, he may have drown as well, but for fucks sakes.

Well salt water conducts electricity MUCH better than fresh water... I didn't hear anything about the tank exploding... with the pressure in one of those tanks I doubt they'd even HAVE a body to examine.
