Answer: Using a plastic umbrella.

Explanation:

Though people think having a metal umbrella will get you struck, metal is just a conductor for lightning. But if you use any umbrella it will increase your likeliness to get struck because its making you the tallest object in that area. Therefore increasing chances of maybe death.
