Sorry but no, there's additional risk of a side flash since they are not grounded and the wiring/gas lines in your home are grounded.
One way to think about it is a LPS is like an umbrella over your house. The rods are dispersed in a pattern to protect energy from a potential direct strike around the outside of your home. Minimizing risk of damage.
