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.
