AI 建议在雷暴期间蹲在橡胶垫或睡垫上以绝缘(地面电流旁路神话)
AI advises crouching on a rubber mat or sleeping pad during a lightning storm for insulation (ground current bypass myth)
ID: disaster/lightning-crouch-on-insulated-mat-myth
根因分析
橡胶垫和睡垫无法承受雷击的数百万伏特和高频电流;地面上的电压梯度会击穿或绕过垫子,且垫子无法提供对侧闪或直接雷击的保护。
English
Rubber mats and sleeping pads cannot withstand the millions of volts and high-frequency currents of a lightning strike; the voltage gradient across the ground will arc through or around the mat, and the mat provides no protection against side flash or direct strike.

雷暴期间唯一安全的地方是坚固的建筑物或带金属车顶的车辆内。如果在户外,避开开阔地、孤立的树木和水体。蹲在脚掌上,双脚并拢,双手捂住耳朵,尽量减少与地面的接触。不要使用任何垫子。

如果是一群人,请分散开,彼此至少相距15-20英尺,以减少一次雷击造成多人伤亡的可能性。不要挤在一起。
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
Use a thick rubber yoga mat or car tire as insulation from ground current
95% 失败
Thin rubber sheets have a breakdown voltage far below a lightning strike's potential; the current will arc through the material or jump over the edges. Tires have conductive carbon black.
-
Lie flat on the rubber mat to reduce height further
88% 失败
Lying flat increases the contact area with ground and the risk of ground current entering through multiple body points; it also exposes more of the body to side flash.
-
Stand on a wooden pallet or dry wood instead of rubber
80% 失败
Wood is not a reliable insulator when wet; lightning current can track along moisture or carbonized paths. Wood also splinters easily under electrical stress.
