I wish wrist straps were more common with phone cases. So far, I’ve only seen cheap and unattractive cases that utilize them. They’d give us better peace of mind when I’m holding on to my phone for dear life—like above a ravine.

Crappy social media didn't make people idiots, it's the idiots that made social media crappy. Sad fact of life.
That's true as far as that goes, but it's also true that many social media companies do encourage, or more passively do not discourage, idiotic behavior to drive more engagement.

If she had a kickstand, assuming she had a free hand to guide herself, all she had to do was stick her middle finger up the space on the kickstand and wrap her remaining fingers around the iPhone. It also made no mention of any kind of bag. I assume she'd have a bag with things to drink, being in Australia and I bet it's kind of warm, compared to the US. It's spring, so yeah it'll be fairly warm.

(I don't have a loop. I have a case with a metal kickstand.)

Agreed. But if we were not gullible idiots, we wouldn’t fall for it, and then they wouldn’t do it.
 
Possible candidate for the Darwin awards?

Ultimately no more stupid than a lot of selfie takers I see who take insane risks for a truly crap photograph. Actually all jokes aside I hope she’s ok and recovers fast. Must have been terrifying.
 
@scorpio vega apologies for my judgemental comments. Bad day but there was no need for that from my side.
I appreciate that.

If you look at it from a Darwinism perspective you’d see why so many of us find this funny.

Hope your Wednesday is better. Have a drink or smoke a blunt if that is your thing and laugh a little. Life’s too short

Homegirl almost lost hers over an iPhone 😂

Thank you. I do try to always reply in a respectful tone and manner but quite obviously failed severely this time round.
