iPhone 3GS Falls 200ft off RC Plane

[wymers24]

You say that it is survived because of its great design. You are a IDIOT. The Iphone has some of the crappiest designs and has a proven %43 chance of breaking vs another phone

[nitroairplane]

I think there is moral in this story somewere.

Oh wait I remember it don't let birds use Iphones or twitter will get too hectic.

[fiverats1]

Where's the duct tape?!

[ethanrocks941]

1:00 moment of silence.....

[GORDON49X]

If your lucky, like you were, you get a great aerial photograph from below the aircraft like you did!

[conebunny]

2.5 sec fall

[lamborghinicorvette]

Well if you do the calculation for the hight objects have an acceleration rate on earth of 9.8^2 Meters per Sec it was approximately a 48.02ft drop not even close to 200 ft lol, just calculated the drop height!!!

[mrrictus]

The falling pov reminded me of "HUDs"'death scene in cloverfield. lol

[damafia29]

mah 40ft if that, it takes longer to fall as it moving forward as well.but no way 200ft that and the fact it on a slow flying plane and had only just taken off and no way it did 200ft in 5secs my 80mph wing takes longer than that and thats vertical

[leopetit1]

hmm... iphones dont have video recording ; the only way to get it is by jailbreaking it ,AND THAT IS ILEGAL, so you guys are ilegaly putting this vid on youtube XD

good job!! lol :)

[mraben1]

@leopetit1 no video??? have you even seen an iphone? even an old iphone 3g can have video (qik app) and jailbreaking is not illegal, its your phone, you can modify it how you want.

[caffenatedmonkey]

@leopetit1 iphone 3GS! You retard it does have video... and no, you dont have to jailbrak it because there are apps even for 2g and 3g that enable you to video record.

[ThoseTechGuys]

@leopetit1 THe 3GS and 4 can record 720p, and the 4S can record 1080p, and jail breaking is perfectly legal, even ruled legal by the US government a few years back.

[joscmc]

soft landing, hard landing no chance

[935514595]

"Apple's great design" yeah right, that is bs, my iphone falls from 1m and is broke now

[TouchMulaGANG]

and how do we even know thats an iphone? my boy had one and broke it by sitting on it idk

[michaelb323]

your son is a fatass.

[SublimeLivesInUsAll]

lol that definately was not 200 feet

[Moles1982]

I work in a steel mill and I have a 2g iPhone that has gone through hell there is no need to prove this I BELIEVE U for having a glass front it takes a licking

[BonezIsSomajor]

this makes me feel good about my 3gs...

[1shotGuidoDrops]

iphone blows.. faggots

[barwelldk]

Get a life.

[brad0021]

LOL thats pretty funny!

[pilotemtnils]

That is awesome, congrats on the phone being fine!

[CHR1Z1224]

Dude mine fell of 3 stories and got killed the screen was smashed through

[Cartuner25]

Get a case, you will be fine haha

[iJakeTV]

WOW!!

[keyblade41]

ahh! id be crying lol

[lkuganesh]

where is the proof

[JabronieMan]

What proof? That it still works? Because it's still recording after the phone falls off and hits the ground. The original video was also uploaded from the phone to Youtube. What more proof do you need?

[JabronieMan]

OH, you might have meant the 200ft thing. The phone falls for approximately 3.5 seconds which, using basic physics, indicates a 200 ft fall approximately.

[miczap1]

finaly! someone wtih brains!

[fragtific111]

@JabronieMan Fail unless you knew the phones acceleration you wouldn't be able to approximate the height by just the falling speed.

[JabronieMan]

@fragtific111 I'm pretty sure on the planet Earth the acceleration provided by gravity is fairly constant. It's 9.8 m/s^2 the last time I checked. Unless Newton did his math wrong, but he's only one of the smartest people to ever exist and has had thousands of people who checked his work.

[David20931]

@JabronieMan 3.5 ? more like 5 seconds.

[KiidCartah]

@David20931 7 Seconds to Be Exact :)

[SomeoneNamedTom]

@JabronieMan actually, i just did the basic physics. it fell for about 3 seconds (i used a stopwatch) and if you consider that it had no vertical velocity when it started falling, it fell from about 45 feet

[gennica]

why would there need to be proof? it's clear what happened, and everyone knows the the iphone is the most durable cell phone made, so dropping from 200 feet and still working is quite believable.

[christopherwoods]

Nah, the Nokia 5110 was the most durable cell phone ever made. ;)

[edudzzaj]

they are nice phones I have a 3G

but "the most durable cell phone made" ...with one side being almost entirely made out of a glass screen?

...not really

[bartybum]

i agree

[DaUberDude]

yes really my friend is a builder and he dropped it of a 2 storey building and it still works

[raulgvalerio]

Wow, cool
