Incredible! A teenage girl survived a charge of 300,000 volts, writes the Daily Mail. Sophie Frost and her boyfriend Mason Billington (both 14 years old) were caught in a thunderstorm while walking in the park. Afraid of getting wet, the teenagers hid under a tree
“Suddenly I saw a bright light, and then I don’t remember anything,” Mason says. - When I woke up, everything was like in some kind of veil. Sophie lay unconscious next to her.
It turned out that an unexpected lightning strike hit the girl. The electric shock passed through the headphones that hung loosely around her neck, and through the iPod went into the ground.
The guy picked up the girl and carried her to the road. There they were picked up by a female driver and taken to the hospital.
Doctors say that Sophie was incredibly lucky to have a music player around her neck: it took the charge off her vital organs. She was also lucky that the headphones were not in her ears.
Mason's eyesight was restored, but there were burns on Sophie's chest and legs. In addition, her eardrum burst and her eyes were temporarily injured. Doctors expect the British woman to fully recover, perhaps even leaving no scars after being struck by lightning.
Surprisingly, the player was given to Sophie by her grandmother just 4 days before the incident.
Sophie doesn't want to remember this terrible story. But she brought them closer to Mason.
“He’s a real hero,” Sophie admits. “I told my mom so,” the girl adds with a smile.
The same player took a hit
The girl spent three days in the hospital
