The phone prevented him from falling to his death!Yes, we all know that the BlackBerry of yours has been a life-saver on many occasions. Providing you instant access to your e-mails, no matter where you are and keeping you in touch with colleagues and friends are all things that a BlackBerry takes in its stride. But saving you from certain death is not amongst those for sure!
That is until you hear about David Fitzherbert, a British skier who owes his life to his trusted BlackBerry, quite literally. The skier while on a usual skiing trip somehow managed to slip in to a crevice, fell 70 feet down and lived to tell the tale. What saved him from almost certain death was his BlackBerry phone he had kept in his breast pocket.
The phone caused him to get struck in an ice crack and prevented the chap from falling further. Thanks to the half-inch wide phone, he apparently was a tad "wider" than the diameter of the crack and well, he remained stuck there for a couple of hours before the rescuers reached him.
If you are worried about the fate of the phone, don't worry. It's still working. Trusty old Blackberries!
