Anyone interest in the CSST-lightning issue can come up to speed by researching "lightning induced CSST fires" on the Internet and the 2007 class action lawsuit were the court found; "CSST possess unreasonable risk of fire due to lightning strikes." Grounding may be fine to prevent electric shock but when it comes to the power of lightning I would not count on it to prevent an arc from causing a pin hole leak and ignition of the escaping gas.
