A closer look
Surviving a massive electrical strike doesn't just leave a cool story; it gives you Mother Nature's most aggressive form of involuntary body modification. When an immense electrical surge passes through an insulating material—like human skin—it forces capillaries to rupture in branching, fractal patterns called Lichtenberg figures. This electrical treeing creates a terrifyingly beautiful, fern-like scar that tracks exactly where the high voltage boiled the blood beneath your epidermis.
