Casey Flay, an experienced wingsuiter and skydiver, jumped from the plane like he had so many times before but completely forgot to zip the front pocket with his phone in. A video of his skydive in Honiton, Devon, shows the 37-year-old preparing to leap with his iPhone 13 Pro Max peeking out of his overalls. As he takes his leap, the phone flies out of his pocket and plummets towards the Earth. Following his dive, engineer Casey - oblivious to the fact his phone had fallen alongside him - asked others in the plane if he'd left it up there. But he was shocked when he used the Find My iPhone app to track his phone down to a forest four miles away from where he'd landed. Even more surprising, however, was the fact that the 14,000ft (2.65 mile) drop appeared hardly to have left a mark on his device.

"It's unbelievable. It just doesn't happen."

"No matter how much I cleaned it out, the side button was still stuck.

"But now, after falling from 14,000 to the ground, it's working fine."
