How does electricity and its special form, lightning damage our body?(Source:

The direct skin tissue energy effect is usually manifested in the form of
an electricity “drawing”. It can also be observed at the entry point of the electric shock or in the area of the exit on the body surface. Often, however, it can only be seen at the entry point in the form of a pinhead or pea size, solid, pale lesion, which can be a crater-like indentation.
Electricity also causes
burns, the severity of them depends on the physical characteristics of electricity.
Mild redness may appear, but
blisters can also be found that indicate more serious damage.
Frequent skeletal muscle rupture, fracture of the bones are often generated due to muscle spasm.
Respiratory arrest may occur by influencing the central nervous system due to paralysis of the respiratory centre.
A special form of electric shock is
the lightning strike when the body is exposed to extreme tension for a moment, which
can break off limbs.Because of the speed, not burning is typical, much more
consciousness disorder, loss of consciousness (coma), cardiac arrest and respiratory paralysis.The electricity “drawing” may be
large, branch-like pattern.Lightning
strikes the hearing and visual organs as well. It can also result immediate deafness.
Eye-lenses may change.Around the lightning impact so-called
step tension can occur in good conductive media (eg. water), which means that there is a risk of electric shock in several meters.
Here are some less shocking photos of injuries. (There can be found quite a few photos of drastic deformations on the net.)
Summarize the above and study again the Dyatlov Team members’ injuries.
It's like seeing photos and reading descriptions of a textbook for electricians or internists.
