Worth Reading?
I won’t deny that the iPhone is a great piece of technology. Like it or not, it’s revolutionary. It’s not, however, some magical device that will save you from injury. In fact, if you try and save it from injury, you might just end up like some poor sap that posted his story and pics on Flickr.
Apparently he was working out on his treadmill, and the iPhone fell off and hit the treadmill which shot it across the room. He spun around to watch it and ended up falling and being rocketed himself, resulting in one nasty looking injury.
He’s apparently alright, since he lived to tell the tale. He does not, however, mention the fate of his iPhone. We all want to know, did it survive?
Ladies And Gentlemen: The First iPhone Injury! [via consumerist]
This guy is an idiot. Why are we even writing about this on SlashGear? I’ve been exercising with the iPhone (yes on the treadmill as well) since I got. Nothing of the sort has happened.
Yea, that wouldn’t happen to me. But I probably wouldn’t be running with my iPhone in my hand due to that problem. But I probably wouldn’t even have mine on the treadmill since I wouldn’t want something to happen with me sending $400 for one. Of course if I was walking it would be a different story.
But anyways when it comes down to it… It is what Vincent said… ;-)
