iPod saves girl from lightning strike

A teenage girl who was struck by lightning may have been saved by her iPod, it emerged today.Sophie Frost and boyfriend Mason Billington, both 14, were sheltering beneath a tree in a storm when the 300,000-volt bolt hit her iPod, knocking them out.But since her headphones were hanging from her school uniform - and not in her ears - the wires diverted some of the current away from her body, avoiding vital organs."
