But current will travel through wet nylon cords. A wet cord offers a lot less resistance to current than air.

The chance of being struck is small, but I still dislike lightning more than anything else in the backcountry. I have had my share of counting time between flash and boom while camped on a ridge, or with lightning coming down while in a canoe (aluminum) on the water. The wake you make with a canoe is pretty impressive when motivated by lightning.
