F.A.Q.
:
Is It Safe To Tan During A
Thunderstorm?
While it is conceivably possible, the likelihood of
anyone receiving bodily injury resulting from electrical
shock during a thunderstorm is extremely minimal. The
greater risk would be in the fluctuations of power flow.
Severe power spikes (electrical surges) and high amounts of
static electricity would be more likely to damage some
equipment rather than the tanner. However, all tanning
equipment has to be properly grounded to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code and the
National Fire Protection Act. There is absolutely no black
and white answer to the safety of tanning during a
thunderstorm, but the gray answer is that the risk is
minimal.
