I'm not sure of the statistics, but even so, it's something you have more control over than a lightning strike.

Edit: at first glance I'm not sure the numbers are right...

Google says: "Lightning damage in the U.S. [...] In 2021, there were a total of 11 fatalities and 69 injuries reported due to lighting in the United States."

Also: "In the United States, an estimated 460,000 children are reported missing every year. Federal Bureau of Investigation, NCIC."

Edit again to be more specific: Many of the "goes missing" doesn't mean kidnaps, and according to wikipedia, "The vast majority of child abduction cases in the United States are parental kidnapping".

However it also says: "Fewer than 350 people under the age of 21 have been abducted by strangers in the United States per year, on average, between 2010–2017."

This number is still a high multiple of the number of people (not just children) struck by lightning each year.

My uninformed guess is that a not insignificant percentage of "children reported missing" are teenagers who run away or stay out past the time they were supposed to return home.

One must remember that about 11% of children are eligible for a drivers license.

Yes, this is why I updated the comment with the "abducted by strangers" statistic.
