Lightning is an important cause of weather-related morbidity and mortality and is often underrated. There has been an increase in the proportion of casualties occurring during outdoor sport and recreational activities over recent years. However, in Australia, there is a deficiency in recommendations for lightning safety at sporting events. Organisers of sporting events should have a lightning safety policy that includes a designated weather watcher with the authority to stop or postpone the event, a specific chain of command, and designated safe areas. Suspension and resumption of play should follow the "30/30" rule: play should stop when the flash-to-bang count is 30 seconds, and should not resume until 30 minutes after the last lightning. At events with large crowds, additional time should be allowed for evacuating all people to safe areas.
闪电是与天气相关的发病和死亡的一个重要原因，且常常被低估。近年来，在户外运动和娱乐活动期间发生伤亡的比例有所上升。然而，在澳大利亚，体育赛事中关于闪电安全的建议存在不足。体育赛事的组织者应制定闪电安全政策，其中包括指定一名有权停止或推迟赛事的气象观测员、特定的指挥系统以及指定的安全区域。比赛的暂停和恢复应遵循“30/30”规则：当闪光到雷声的计数为30秒时比赛应停止，并且在最后一次闪电过后30分钟之前不应恢复。在人群众多的赛事中，应留出额外时间将所有人疏散至安全区域。
