Gopro Camera survives 3000' fall.

Must not have had my camera fully engaged with the wrist mount. Snagged it on my rear riser and it poped loose at 3000'. Incredibaly some nice gentelman found it & returned it to the drop zone. Threw a fresh battery in it & it worked perfectly, not even a scratch on it.

@stinkyminky95 During the drops from weather balloons at 80,000 ft, the cameras are usually encased in a styrofoam box included with an altimeter, and a GPS tracking device to find the camera later. But yeah, these cameras can take a pounding.
