Teen Struck By Lightning While Filming Video At Jersey Shore [VIDEO]

A New Jersey teen who once saved the life of another child was struck by lightning at the Jersey Shore this week, filming it while it happened.

The lightning hit the ground Monday about 10 to 15 feet away from him and sent shockwaves through Ethan Riozzi-Bodine's legs, into his chest and out of his hands, according to the New York Daily News.

He was holding his bike at the time, which he believes "grounded" him because of the rubber tires, according to the report.

"You can actually hear me get electrocuted in the video; I'm like 'argh!'" Ethan told ABC7. "Now that's it's over I can say that it was cool, but during the whole process of it happening it was not cool at all."

The 16-year-old student at St. Rose High School in Belmar told the station he had to take shelter during his bike ride home when a storm passed through after 6 p.m. Monday, and a broken chain left him stranded at a bathroom pavilion on the Bradley Beach boardwalk.

Bodine knows something about saving lives, and not just his own.

He helped to save the life of a young girl two years ago when he and a friend kept 12-year-old Hannah Peters alive until paramedics arrived after she sustained a deep chest wound, according to the Monitor, a publication of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton.

Peters, sitting with a friend along the Shark River on that spring afternoon, had lost her footing as she rose to leave and fell forward onto a sharp rock which sliced open her chest, just missing her jugular vein and heart, according to the report.

The girl, bleeding profusely, tried to run home but encountered the two then-14-year-old boys along the way, according to the report.

Here is the video of the lightning strike:
