Getting strobed

Have you ever heard someone complain about getting strobed. Did you ever scratch your head and wonder what the heck they were talking about? Well, in a nut shell, it's when you are shooting ambient, and they are shooting with strobes and you both fire your camera at the exact same time. What then happens is your frame is about 5 stops over exposed like the image below.

There really isn't a way around it. Eventually it's just going to happen.
In the above example, I was shooting at 400 ISO, 1/500th at f/4.
The strobes were set for 100 ISO at f/11.
