Lightning can strike humans when they are in close proximity to a lightning strike, such as standing under a tree or near metal objects. The human body can become a path for the electrical current to travel, resulting in a lightning strike. In such cases, the lightning can cause serious injury or even death.
Lightning is most likely to strike tall or pointed objects, such as trees, buildings, or lightning rods. These objects provide a pathway for the lightning to travel from the cloud to the ground. Areas with frequent thunderstorms and high levels of atmospheric instability are more prone to lightning strikes.
Lightning usually is attracted to bodies of water and even small puddles and tall things like buildings and trees. It will strike at the tallest point it can find, so if there is one tree in the middle of a field it would hit the tree, not the grass.

Lightning will strike the tallest object in an area regardless of its shape, so a Ferris wheel may be a potential target if it is the tallest structure nearby. However, lightning is unpredictable, and it can strike any object that provides a path of least resistance for the electrical discharge.

There is no "most deadly lightning strike". Lightning either kills or doesn't.
