Here is a picture of a Wire Mesh Faraday Cage which likely was the first type of Faraday cage he built.

because she is protected by this metal mesh Cage she doesn't die with this little bolt of electrical lightning shot at the cage. The cage dissapates (maybe not the right word but I think you know what I mean) the bolt of electricity (maybe like a welding rod kind of bolt) from killing this girl inside of the Faraday Cage.

So, this is also how a car on the ground or a plane in the sky helps protect you from bolts of lightning or 1000 volt power lines out of telephone poles that you might see right outside your home or business right now if they are knocked over by Trees or Tornadoes or Hurricanes or traffic accidents to where the broken ends of wire are arcing along the ground. 

You especially don't want to get out of your car if you see this if there is any water or snow of any kind on the ground when this happens because you don't want to be electrocuted. the tires of your vehicle and the Faraday Cage of your vehicle likely could save your life if you stay in the car until Firemen or Police tell you it is safe to get out of your vehicle in such an emergency. However, if your vehicle is on fire all bets are off and you might need to get out of there anyway to survive (unless you can think of a better idea in the moment).

A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure used to block some electromagnetic fields. A Faraday shield may be formed by a continuous covering of conductive material, or in the case of a Faraday cage, by a mesh of such materials. Faraday cages are named after the scientist Michael Faraday, who first constructed one in 1836.^[1]

Faraday cages work because an external electrical field will cause the electric charges within the cage's conducting material to be distributed in a way that cancels out the field's effect inside the cage. This phenomenon can be used to protect sensitive electronic equipment (for example RF receivers) from external radio frequency interference (RFI), often during testing or alignment of the device. Faraday cages are also used to protect people.
