Safety starts on the ground at the flight planning stage.
If the weather is questionable, don't fly or divert.
Know and respect your and your aircraft's limitations and use all available resources including your eyes, technology, FIS and ATC.

PS Even birds avoid flying into these thunderstorm forming clouds:
