i have heard to never take a shower during a thunderstorm, because it could run through the metal water pipes and strike you. Just as un safe as swimming in a pool.

Yes, you will die. Don't do it. It's just like sex.Don;t do it, you will get pregnant and die.ANS2:The act of showering during a thunderstorm will not prevent you from dying, as your question is worded. It does, in fact, improve your odds of being struck by lightning. Being struck by lightning is not always fatal but, it frequently is.
