From the post:
Maybe Ipod saved his life? While the whole world is blaming iPod for the lightning incident which zapped the 17 year old, the Register reports that it was the iPod which saved the teenager’s life. Excerpt from the post.

The teenager would probably have been caught by lightning anyway, but it’s possible the iPod earphone cables may have saved his life, directing the current quickly away from his chest and, crucially, his heart.

Zapped while listening to Metallica.
hmmmmm.. I wonder if he was listening Metallica's Ride the Lightning while the lighning struck.

hmm...good point. Lightning (electricity) afterall, chooses the quickest way out and it also strikes the highest point of the conductor (his head). The current's entry would then be the head..then the headphones since metal (wire) is a better conductor. It then travels down to the iPod where it exits from the back (thus the hole) and enters the boy's waist and continues down the the ground, which is quite literally THE ground.

i think its not because of the IPOD. its just a mere accident.
