Wandering is a popular way of spending leisure time especially for the urban population. Health problems arising from such outdoor recreational activities are better understood today and may improve survival in case of accidents if sufficient awareness of clinical staff is established. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on this physiological phenomenon by investigating the connection between the physics associated with lightning strikes and the physiological response of the human body. From the results a minimum safety-distance from different trees species is derived. Flat rooted trees are more dangerous than tap rooted trees. In the worst case it may be considered safe if a distance of at least 25 meters to tree trunks is maintained.

Turystyka piesza jest popularnym sposobem spędzania wolnego czasu, szczególnie dla mieszkańców miast. Problemy zdrowotne wynikające z tej aktywności są dobrze poznane, ale w szczególnych przypadkach wiedza o zagrożeniu może być pomocna i może się przyczynić do zwiększenia szans na przeżycie. Celem tej publikacji jest pokazanie związku pomiędzy wyładowaniem piorunowym a reakcją organizmu ludzkiego. Na podstawie otrzymanych wyników wyznaczono bezpieczny odstęp od drzew podczas wyładowań piorunowych. Drzewa z systemem poziomym systemem korzeniowym stwarzają większe zagrożenie niż drzewa z systemem palowym. W najgorszym przypadku bezpieczny odstęp od pnia drzewa wynosić powinien co najmniej 25 metrów.
