The other day while at Six Flags in Atlanta (them park for those of you who don't know it), a group of my friends and I were having a blast...
We waited in line for the Superman ride and eventually when we were boarding my friend looked at me and said:
"Dude, what do I do with my phone?" To which I replied..
"You brought your iPhone 4??!" (I, and others in our group, had all left our iPhone 4s at home)
"Yeah, I'll just put it in this pocket *slides in pocket*, it should be fine"
"I suppose" I replied
Needless to say we were all more than thrilled after an hour of waiting, so I wasn't very concerned that my friend was an idiot, and figured he'd hold on to his pocket with his dear life while we rode the ride.
---------------------------------------------------------
Halfway through the ride, a person in front of me had change fly out of their pocket and almost hit me the face, at which point I realized, my less-than-average-IQ friend, had more than likely had the phone slip out of his pocket while he held his hands in the air pretending to be Superman.
Yep, it was gone. While getting off the ride it looked as though my friend had just seen a ghost (forgive my terrible examples). The phone had fallen out somewhere randomly and we had no idea where it was.
Skipping a couple of hours...
Our group is driving home and one of our friends said, "Hey Alex, I'll call your phone and see if it was found my anyone."
(Trying to hurry the story up). He called, it rang, a woman picked up and said that the phone had nearly destroyed a group of people walking on a sidewalk in the theme park as the ride came screeching by, but she informed us that the phone had a bunch of scratches on the back, and a chip in the glass in a corner, but overall was in working condition (and she had even managed to play with it since my friend didn't have a passcode).
So...the phone survived a pretty epic fall, with only cosmetic issues (or so we were told). My friend has arranged to meet the woman soon, who happens to live not to far from us and get the phone back and pay her $25 bucks for keeping it. (She isn't interested in stealing the phone, she said her own phone is fine)
If the woman holds true to her word and doesn't take the phone, I'll try and post pictures of the phone whenever my friend gets it back...
