Skydiver's phone survives 14,000ft drop from plane and lands without a scratch

SWNS

A skydiver who lost his iPhone 13 Pro Max mid-jump was stunned to find it unharmed in a forest four miles away.  Casey Flay, 37, forgot to zip his wingsuit pocket before leaping from 14,000ft over Honiton, Devon.  The phone was seen flying out in helmet-cam footage, but Casey only realised it was missing after landing.  Using Find My iPhone, he tracked it to a remote woodland—completely intact.  “There wasn’t a scratch on it,” said Casey, who’s done over 500 skydivers.  “It’s unbelievable—like it just landed gently.”
