The people that have knowledge of the statistic for deaths by lighting strike may be inclined to gain confidence from the relatively low risk rate. What they may not understand is that this rate goes up dramatically for people who are in or around lighting storms, especially if they act irresponsibly (possibly based on the overconfidence gained from their knowledge).
