nun of them do.
According to the National Safety Council, in the United States in 2004, 46 people were killed by lightning. The chance of dying from a lightning strike in a lifetime is 1 in 81,949. See this link: http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm The mortality rate has been reported to be anything from between 32 percent to only 3 percent, meaning that the injury rate is between 3 to 30 times the amount of persons killed. It seems no one knows for sure. There are many unreported minor injuries from lightning that go without medical treatment. See "Lightning Injury Facts" http://www.uic.edu/labs/lightninginjury/ltnfacts.htm And "The Human Effects of Lightning Strikes and Recommendations for Storm Chasers" http://www.harkphoto.com/light.html
Yes. Many people have been struck by lightning. A good number of those people have died as a result.
Lightning kills about 100 people in the US each year, and injures about 1000. So you have 10 chances in 11 (or about 91%) of surviving being struck by lightning. The maladies that a lightning strike to the body are varied and can last the rest of the lifetime.
