WEDNESDAY, July 11 (HealthDay News) -- It wasn't playing his swan song, but the iPod a Canadian runner wore during a thunderstorm may have worsened his lightning-related injuries, physicians say.
The 37-year-old man was brought to a Vancouver hospital with burns, blown-out eardrums and a fractured lower jaw after lightning hit a nearby tree and hurled him eight feet into the air, according to eyewitness reports.
The burns along the man's chest and neck leading to his ear injuries also corresponded "to the positions of his [iPod] earphones at the time of the lightning strike," his physicians said.
They published their case report, "Thunderstorms and iPods -- Not a Good Idea," in the July 12 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
