The worst place to drop your phone
Would this be something insurance would cover?
People taking their phones with them to take pics while on an adventure or activity is standard.
But it comes with a risk - a risk of damage. This is why most places will inform you of their disclaimers on carrying phones, and, for instance, taking your phone while sky diving is a big no-no.
Perhaps this is the reason we found this video. It was created to show people why they should refrain from taking their phones with them while parachuting or sky diving.
Watch the video below; it shows the woman dropping her phone while on a parachute.
Pay attention to her hand movements - video courtesy of TikTok.

The woman seemed to let go of the phone purposefully, if you didn't notice.
Of course, everyone in the comments section noticed. We are unsure whether this was staged or not, but perhaps it was an accident. If that is the case, then this is a prime example of why you should not carry your phone with you while participating in activities.
