This is also called "earthing", the lightning strikes on the rod and straight gets deposited in the ground without harming anybody or anything in it's way
@monster1176
Safely. Right next to the swing set lmao
@LaraibHasanKhan
Bro had the audacity to touch that pole in a storm
@George-vf7ss
Don't pee on that during a storm.
@ProfShyv
And to those actually searching for an explanation: Electricity always searches for the path of lowest resistance. Everything is a conductor after a threshold is reached, that's why lighting can travel through air which is usually considered non-conductive So when the electricity from lightning travels through the air and reaches the top of a building, it will prefer the path of lowest resistance created by the copper rods and channels and connect to ground
@berniemiller2992
You just told the copper thieves where it is!
@salehacademy2487
Copper strips must be installed using base insulators. In this case copper strips are directly fixed with walls using nails.
@srgplay4526
Rip if somone somehow touches that connection during lightning,😂
@StevenRockwood
The playground, the lightning system... what a place to put either one, anyway you look at it! ...
@calvinhelms4442
Lightning rods are not supposed to be hit by lightning. Sometimes they do but it’s not what they are for . They pull the ions out of the air to prevent lightning from happening. If you’re building does get hit the rods are not strong enough to stop damage to electrical or stop a fire
@Kashify_JEE
It's a lightning conducter discovered by Benjamin Franklin in 1752.

@_Astro_Gamer_
Imagine sitting right there during a thunderstorm and you just black out and when you wake up, you are in the hospital from a lightning strike😅😅
@P99-e2x
Imagine someone taking shelter from the strong wind and rain with an umbrella accidentally backing up to it when lightning strikes
@adimasguntur
No, it shouldn't be normally struck by lightning. It works by bleeding the ion in the sky to prevent lightning strike to happen in the first place.
@prateekmohapatra916
It is Franklin type lightening arrester. But it should connect to a GI strip which suppose to maintain a good gap with the surface through Epoxy Isolator
@prathameshkhaire2063
For many people who don't know even if it seems that it's very dangerous because it is near to playground but the lightning conductor's second end ends in a pot which is dug water and salt are added to the pit so the lightning could be transferred into the ground quickly
@Gargily
A Real Life Lighting Rod 💀
@FilipinoDoesMusicXD
Imagine accidently bumping that right in the middle of it getting struck by lightning.
