If the actual use situation is ignored, the aluminum pole is indeed more thunderous. But in fact, since the whole tent has become a conductor in rainy days, and the poles are usually not exposed outside the tent, so this difference is not big. Of course thunderbolts or tents with lots of metal poles out there are not considered. The glass rod does not conduct electricity and thus does not share the current through the body, while the aluminum rod acts as a parallel conductor, helping the body carry some of the current. So the folding tent wholesalers summarize as follows:
1. If it is raining and thundering, the aluminum pole is not more dangerous than the glass pole, and it may be safer. Because no matter what the pole tent is at this time, it will become a conductor, so the focus is on who can better digest the current after the lightning strike.
2. If there is thunder on a sunny day, the aluminum pole is more dangerous. Because only aluminum pole tents attract lightning strikes at this time, the wholesaler of folding tents also said that choosing poles is only a secondary lightning protection measure. The real key is to grasp the basic principles of camp selection and take precautionary measures for lightning protection. Although the chance of being struck by lightning is not high in the case of rainstorms when camping in the wild, in order to prevent this dangerous situation from happening, we still have to do preventive work to ensure safety.
