there a position one should assume that might minimize burn damage?

I read several years ago (or maybe they told it to me in First-Aid/CPR

if
they just pulled that number out of the air.

It is true. The lightning causes the heart to start fibutlating. If CPR is
started within 8 mintutes the person can survive.
I am saying this as a qualified First Aid instrustor.
The burns caused by lightning are where it hits the person and here it
earths.
