I didn't read the web sight carefully concerning the Lightning Desperation Position, but I do find myself wondering how they came up with it...
I can see it now, on some college campus in Florida all of the volunteers have their position defined for them. Each sheet has some combination of: crouching, standing, feet together, feet apart, hands over ears, hands over hearts, hands waving wildly over head, eyes open, eyes closed...
Then of course the control group just standing around without directions. ;-)
