And really, playing a sympathy card using children?
Better make sure I never tell anyone about the meteorite I saw AND continued to play.

Well, we're primarily officiating games involving children, so I hardly see that as "playing a sympathy card". And to equate lightning safety delays to a meteorite is absurd and ridiculous. I see no further purpose debating this. You do what you feel comfortable with, I'll do the same. And I don't care whether insurance covers me or not, I'm not putting a child's life, an adult's life, and sure as hell my own in danger for the sake of a few minutes of a game.
