What happens when lighting strikes while your in the air..Example if you were to jump before the lighting struck your body. Would you get less of a shock since you are not grounded?

Jumping in the air when lightning strikes does not reduce the risk of getting struck or experiencing a shock. Lightning can still potentially strike a person even if they are not directly touching the ground, as it can travel through conductive objects like metal or water. It is safest to seek shelter indoors during a lightning storm.
