Fishing is the most dangerous activity, but beach-going and soccer are behind that. Golf ranks pretty low. Now I don’t know whether fishing means fishing from the bank or fishing from a boat. As Dave pointed out above, powerboaters are hit often. Friday Saturday and Sunday are the most dangerous days. Lots to digest. A recent finding is that during 2020, lightning deaths were down. Could be that more people stayed inside because of COVID or that weather conditions were less conducive to the formation of lightning. NOAA/NWS has provided some evidence of the latter explanation.
