I like that idea, Larry.
They've got access to a great lightning facility.
They already did a show about being on the phone or in the shower during a lightning storm.
You should send it in...they're probably always in need of neat ideas for the show.

IMHO, you should note the raw data rather than trusting any of their "scientific conclusions".
Remember their show that proved that bullets fired straight up wouldn't fall back down and kill you?
They ran their tests underneath bulletproof shields...and interviewed a Doctor who had issued more than 1 Death Certificate for just that case.
Yet they had no problem saying that it was impossible.

Let the buyer (and viewer) beware.

In defense of the bullet story, the people who were killed by bullets shot in the air were pretty far away from the shooter so they were not shot "straight up".
