  • @2135qmzr You mean a "Gopher"? Different spelling mate

  • Crazy shit

  • @InsaneBurrito45 golfers are hardcore, i dont know what it is, around where i live, they start playing right when the snow leaves, and its minus 3 celcius out still.lol

  • lucky!

  • Fateful last words "let's just shoot one last put"..

  • 1:00 - 2:05

  • Note to self: All ways have a Put in you're hand, ween you're ween its bad weather, and sweat like a pig.

  • dang...

  • Greed, the strongest force in nature

  • D'où l'utilité de savoir effectuer un massage cardiaque comme dans cette video !

  • It feels like getting hit in the balls 8 times in a row

    The only diffrence is that when you get struck by lightning , the lightning is the one making the boom

    But when u get hit in the balls its u screaming like hell

    ROFL

  • Wow if i got hit i would never go outside ever! But he is like so lucky he lived

  • i love cape cod...i live pretty close

  • bless him ! i feel well sorry for him ! those of you who are putting LMAO and LOL what is so funny?! would you be laughing if you were that man?!

  • I'd probably be laughing a little bit.

    "There is a reason the gods torture us. They envy us. Life is so much more beautiful knowing that every moment you live could possibly be your last.

  • ouch

  • omg! THAT is so scary!! At least he survived...

  • thats some thing i find frighting.one of our family friends nearly got hit.this man is very very lucky

  • "RAT FARTS!"

  • LOL!!!! YOU MADE ME LAUGH MY ASS OFF!!!

  • idiot the video is only 4:17 long

  • These hammy, ham-fisted re-enactments always annoy me. I do like the jiggy-dance that neuron is doing at 3:27, though.

  • my gym teacher said his buddy saw a guy get struck....split his skull right in half.

  • O.O I couldnt believe that xzigga!

  • yh but isnt the handle of the putter rubber or somet so he should get the full force

  • I doubt he got directly hit by lighting. My guess is that it was one of the branch offs that you can see in the video and that the main piece hit behind him or somthing. Direct hits have incinerated trees.

  • When you hear the sirens, never mind making the putt - GET OFF THE DAMN FIELD! He's lucky to have survived.

  • We all think that it would not heappen to us, even tho we're proven wrong again and again

  • lmfao i think the renactment was a bit over done dont you. Looks like a scene out of the Adams family. But still interesting stuff.

  • In 2006, this stupid coach sent three kids on a soccer team to practice on a field in my town. There was a supercell overhead and dangerous lightning. As they were going inside, they got struck by lightning. Two of them became paralyzed, and the girl died. Stupid coach.

  • bad day to be a coach

  • What a stupid comment.

  • so his super power is that he aged?

    that sucks

    haha

  • LOL. This reenactment is waaaay over the top. They make the sky look like the end of the world or something.

  • Guess he never saw Caddy Shack

  • So... any super powers yet?

  • @zzeroxxero lol

  • shouldn't be on a golf course during a LIGHTNING STORM!! idiot...

  • he was goddamn lucky that he didn't die!

  • I love lightning storms!

  • This is why I'm afraid of lightning very much! But I still love it very much!

  • Out of curiosity can anyone explain how the lightning would travel through the putter while Michael was holding the rubber handle of the putter?

    I may just be overlooking something I suppose.

  • Hole in one by Lighting!!!

  • I guess Chuck Norris hates golf or just this guy.

  • who the hell would be playing in that weather?

  • I used to work across the street from a golf course and it never failed, they would all be out there every time it stormed. Iused to watch out the window just waiting for one of them to get struck. I never understood why someone would think it's a good idea to hold onto a metal rod while it's lightning.....

  • i totally agree!

  • There's no excuse for these guys to have waited this long to get off the course. You're supposed to leave as soon as you hear thunder.

  • whats that rehibilitation mean?

  • brought back to life, in a medical way, not like jesus bringing back people who have been dead for a while

  • your stupid rehibiliation doesnt mean bringing somone back to life it means to restore to the former state which in this case its him learning how to move again as he did before...

  • It means that he is undergoing processes to regain his coordination of his arms/legs and more than likely restrengthen them after they were unusable for a while more than likely.

    It has nothing to do with bringing anyone back to life after being dead.

  • Lightning made a HOLE IN ONE!

  • "Dick Gill, and Bill Todd"--- interesting names... lmao

  • if u get hit by lightning u get superpowers!!

    KAZAAM!!

  • I wish! then I got lightning power :D no electricity bills anymore!

  • you are funny!

  • anyone else think about caddyshack while watching this? THIS IS THE BEST GAME OF MY LIFE!!!

  • wow every time im golfing im gonna make sure a listen to the sirens once and a while =\

  • Though highly dangerous, I still love lightning.

  • Way cool video

  • The fine channel!! Fine! Always you look with the great pleasure and pleasure! Thanks you, for brought advantage and interesting transfers! We love you! Success to you and prosperities! We remain yours.

  • unreal luv it

  • intresting. this is one of those videos were u keep watchig them over and over again. lol

  • golfing is a damn dangerous sport.

  • told u so

  • Nasty.

  • Florida is the lightning capital of the world. This is a remarkable story

  • this is nothing. a girl at my school in '98, her mom was struck by lightning twice, so this guy is 1/2 hardcore as that chicks mom. Also to add more insult to injury, she ran under a tree one of the times.

  • ???

  • Now Micheal can move the golf ball with his mind.Hole in one every shot!

  • Nice Documentary. Good putting in that storm, Mike. Better a putter than a vintage club.

  • hi im todd or whatever the guys name was in the video who got hit. I'd like to say im on youtube yay!!!!!

  • i think it was 80% of the people who get struck by lightning are golfing. =/

  • im pretty sure thats an exaggeration

  • What a tough guy, sirens blaring and he has to make the putt... why??

  • that's a golfer for you, trust me I know, my dad is one

  • my uncle was on that video, he was actually one of the guys who helped save him

  • DIRECT HIT K.O.

  • gn cvxhmnjydfj

  • That's one way to get rid of those annoying golfers.

  • lol

  • He went from 48 to 78?

    What the...?

    Can someone please explain that to me?

  • His ability to move was impaired by the strike, so he has the physical capabilities of about a 75-80 year old

  • that situation is ass

  • daaaannnng that sucks

  • where's the "part 2" ??

  • 3:54 when he's back on the green it looks as though he's moving loosely as if he doesn't have all his movements back to regular form. did he suffer in which he can't move like he could before? it's a noticeable difference in this video.

  • lucky and poor guy

  • I was struck by lightning when I was 17. I now have Post-electrocution syndrome. The only symptom I don't have is epilepsy, a fact for which I am rather grateful. I am blessed to be alive.

  • Of course if you where blessed you wouldn't have been struck in the first place.

  • yeah right...

  • knowing a lightning storm is due, they still took metal sticks onto open ground. his buddy was right about a bad thing happening. a total idiot survived.

  • thank god he is alive

  • 2:43 "the more water the better" what??

  • Contrary to popular belief, water is not a good conductor of heat and electricity (electricity does not travel through it well).

  • yes it does with common water (water we drink), not with pure water

  • not all water contacs eltricy the water that does that is . . . idk fresh

  • i bet he shit his pants

  • My wife got struck by lightening before I met her. She's thankful to be alive. She was holding a metal umbrella. She no longer uses metal umbrellas for that reason. Only plastic ones.

  • dandık vıdeo

  • HAH make the putt first before we leave... What a idiot...

  • pwned

  • thats lucky for him

  • pwned

  • Horrible!

  • what is the exposure time?

  • WOW

  • Too little information - were his facial muscles intact?

  • owned in the face

  • in ur dreams

  • wow

  • freakin idiots

  • BZZZZZZZZT!

  • good thing that the childish guy didnt come out but imajine the guy turns into flash lol...

  • Heard stories like this before. There was a guy not too long ago that was struck and for some odd reason, he no longer has to wear a winter jacket no matter how cold it is outside. Not sure how and what explains this but, it did something (obviously) internally. Interesting though and damn lucky to be alive.

  • thats sick!!!!

  • That would be an elemental attribute I say. My first reaction was like "damm thats whats up".

  • Wow!

  • OH RAT FARTS!

  • ive been struck by lightning while playing golf.. indirectly tho..

  • kool..

  • this just happened here 2 years ago, our high school golf coach had to do CPR on a student when he was struck :\

  • This might sound "geeky" to you, but metal conducts way better than "nonmetals". Look it up, it really does conduct electricity better than nonmetals. It varies though. So we would have to know what the gold club is made of.

  • god bless the pudder

  • I'm glad he survived,my uncle was hit by lightning while standing under a tree,he died,his finger and toe nails looked like popcorn,he was fried.

  • Well thats a nice way to say it

    "He was fried" lol jeez

    But anyways sorry for the loss

  • This just proves that smoking is bad for you.

  • Learning CPR should be obligatory at schools.

  • It is obligatory in mine. They teach us CPR in Health class.

  • I think you mean mandatory buddy

  • On the same token, the forces inside a thunderstorm that create lightning are much too large to be influenced by small metal objects on the ground that are tiny specks in comparison. When a cloud-to-ground lightning channel is forming, it is going to strike the ground where the opposing charges are greatest, directly underneath the storm's most electrically active region. If you are standing at that exact location, you will be hit, even if there's no metal within miles.

  • For all intents and purposes, nothing 'attracts' lightning. Lightning occurs on too large of a scale to be influenced by small objects on the ground, including metal objects. The location of the thunderstorm overhead alone determines where lightning will hit the ground. A lightning bolt that is several miles long, generated by a cloud that is more than 6 to 10 miles high, is not going to be influenced by your jewelry, or even your house.

  • A lightning bolt is several times hotter than the sun.

  • wow..

  • i was strck by lighting if felt fucking weird i cant explainet i dint got knock out i wa sjust htere wiht this horrible feeling i just can not dicraive it but it was fukcing kool

  • he got lucky!

  • you get it, three STROKES of luck, LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

    o god, tv is so funny!

  • i dont get how people catch their death/major injury on HD film..I don't know how people catch the exact moment when someone gets struck, or kidnapped, or raped, etc. or how they catch animals killing each other that exact moment on HD film...

    So the thing im saying is... how did they get this caught on film in like HD with like a professional cameraman from national geographic.. do they carry around a camera around with them 24-7?

  • Its a dramatic reenactment. haha. ofcourse no one was there with a camera to record that

  • Now he has learned to control his lightning powers and will take vengeance on all those who destroyed his life. FLASH MAN coming soon

  • my hot body attracts lightning. lol
