Lightning strikes can involve currents as high as $25000$ A that last for about $\backslash (40\backslash$mu $\backslash$mathrm$\{$~s$\}\backslash ).$ If a person is struck by a bolt of lightning with these properties, the current will pass through his body. We shall assume that his mass is $72$ kg $,$ that he is wet $($after all, he is in a rainstorm$)$ and therefore has a resistance of $\backslash (1\mathrm{.}1\backslash$Omega $\backslash ),$ and that his body is all water $($which is reasonable for a rough, but plausible, approximation$).$
