utter rubbish - when lightening strikes you; all the current passes over the surface of your body. This is because while electrical breakdown is happening in air the effective electrical resistance is _zero_ which is a lot greater than the resistance of your body. If it does not strike you directly and there is no breakdown then you will likely get a fatal shock through your body. Direct strikes are actually safer - but you will get burns on your surface where the breakdown happened.
