Is it dangerous to go extreme pig riding in a thunderstorm?

Question

I like to saddle up my piggy for a ride into thunderstorms. But what happens to my piggy if we get hit by lightning?

One day, he will grow wings, and we'll fly above and beyond all the troubles of the world ~ — Sadly Not, Apr 29 '11 at 20:33

If a pig, saddled and ridden or not, gets hit by lightning it will turn into an un-aggro'ed (non-hostile) Zombie Pigman with you staring at the inside of it's head.

Lightning forced to strike with a mod.
