The injury caused by a lightning strike depends greatly on the amount of current that enters the body. A lightning strike is very high voltage, but it can be distributed over a very large area (as shown by the dendritic branching patterns). Unless one is hit directly by a return stroke, the current can be carried through the liquids of the skin to the ground without causing fatal damage. A lightning strike on a sports field can injure as many as a dozen players, and yet kill no one.
Some people have been hit more than once by lightning, suffering skin burns (especially on the head, back, or heels) and occasionally nerve damage.

How can you survive if electricity shocks you?
You most certainly can, we got shocked all the time, when you rub wool socks and touch a door knob you get shocked, and of course you survive. What you might be referring to is electrocution, say struck by lightning and have died, in some cases you can survive it all depends on what you're using and what you were shocked by, lightning actually isn't as fatal, more people survive from getting shocked by lightning then by getting shocked by electrical wires or a common house hold item, in might seem a little far-fetched, but it is indeed true. Hope that Helps!!
