Whenever Kylie Jenner shares a picture, it invariably sparks conversation.
Typically, it’s the vocal minority of online trolls who comment on her photos, but her most recent holiday snapshots have people genuinely concerned for her safety. Take a look:
On her Instagram, the 27-year-old posted a collage of photos for her 398 million followers.
The images feature the Kylie Cosmetics founder wearing a white bikini top paired with a skirt that includes a belt, what looks like a large diamond earring, and a stylish arm ring, also known as an armlet.
The concerning element of Jenner’s holiday photos is the storm apparent in the background behind her.
She captioned the post “Mother storm” and added cloud and lightning emojis.
Fans of The Kardashians star quickly expressed their concern.
Several followers pointed out the potential danger of her leaning on a metal railing during a thunderstorm.
One user commented: “Holding on to a metal railing during a lightning storm is crazy.”
Most people are aware that lightning can travel through metal surfaces, which raises concerns about Jenner’s safety—she could have been electrocuted if lightning had struck the yacht.
Here’s what Weather.gov has to say on the subject: “Lightning can travel long distances in wires or other metal surfaces. Metal does not attract lightning, but it provides a path for the lightning to follow.
“Most indoor lightning casualties and some outdoor casualties are due to conduction. Whether inside or outside, anyone in contact with anything connected to metal wires, plumbing, or metal surfaces that extend outside is at risk.
“This includes anything that plugs into an electrical outlet, water faucets and showers, corded phones, and windows and doors.”
This post follows her recent appearance on the cover of British Vogue, where she discussed her struggle to get back into shape after the birth of her second child, Aire.
The mom-of-two shares her kids with Travis Scott: their six-year-old daughter, Stormi, and their two-year-old son, Aire.
Jenner has been dating Timothée Chalamet since April 2023.
