Why do you shelter under a tree during a thunderstorm?

Sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm is not safe because trees are a prominent target for lightning strikes. Lightning tends to strike taller objects, and trees can conduct the electricity from a lightning strike to the ground, putting anyone near them at risk of electrocution. It is safer to find shelter in a sturdy building or a fully enclosed vehicle during a thunderstorm.

Is lightning more likely to strike an electrical adjustable bed than a regular one?

Lightning does not normally strike a house, penetrate its outer layer (the roof) and go through the air to a particular object inside the house. If it does strike the house it tends to divert along conductive paths, such as telephone, electric or cable TV wiring or copper rain gutters or metal plumbing or even the foil on the wall insulation. The common scenario when lightning strikes a house is that the energy from the lightning strike travels along the conductive paths, like the house wiring, and find its way to the ground. Along the way it can damage appliances in the house that are plugged in at the time. This could include the electric bed. Many a TV and VCR have been damaged this way. They can be damaged even when the lightning strikes a thousand feet away from your house. As for whether you would be injured by being in the electric bed when the lightning strikes, only God would know. About 2 weeks ago a teenager was on the toilet bowl when the house was struck by lightning. He felt it but was unharmed.
