Strike strikes players through the cable of his controller, but he is fine

To be hit by lightning is certainly not fun. Fortunately, you do not have to worry, because that is very unlikely. Even less happens, the case that a flash meets your house meets and continues the electricity of the flash through the cables of your console to your controller. But apparently that is exactly what happened to a person in Robertson County, Tennessee. Luckily, he did not support any injuries.

Player is made when gambling through the controller cable from the flash

Watt?! Yes, Read correctly: Apparently there is a risk that the electric charge of a lightning stroke is moved through the power line, your console and the controller cable to your hands. That's at least probably happened for the second time.

A person from Tennessee called the ambulance because he was hit by a flash. In any case, this reports WRKN (via Kotaku). Accordingly, the rather unusual call was received and an ambulance was sent. On site, the paramedics arrived in the inside then apparently on a man who reported he had suffered an electric shock through his controller cable.

Do not worry, the player is doing well despite lightning

Apparently, the player had lucky no injuries **. He just wanted to make sure he was really not injured and should also have stood a little under shock. Imagine, you would hit by your controller from the lightning!

Anyway, man did not have to go to the hospital and he is fine. We just assume that in the future, he tends to play rather only with wireless controllers when there is a storm with lightning and thunder outside.

A streamer is already happening:

How to read on Reddit and Twitter, the streamer's and professional Rocket League player Karma was also hit by her controller from lightning. The clip is no longer available, but apparently that happened, while it had streamed live. She probably even streamed.

But here too we can give all-clear: Karma has not happened nothing bad. She had only slight burns on his hands, which could be supplied by cooling. But apparently the controller was in the USB input.

How do you get involved in the thunderstorm when it comes to gambling? For example, do you have extra surge protection sockets or similar?
