There are a few possible explanations for this gender disparity. First, men are more likely to be in occupations that put them at risk of being struck by lightning, such as construction, roofing, and farming. Second, men are more likely to be engaged in outdoor activities during thunderstorms, such as hiking, fishing, and golfing.

According to the National Lightning Safety Council, men make up 82% of lightning strike victims. The average age of a lightning strike victim is 38 years old. Most lightning strikes occur during the summer months and in the afternoon and evening hours.
