Jack Fox, a 14-year-old boy, fell of a mountain's cliff when he was taking a picture of the Alps' landscape while in a school trip. He survived and so did the phone with the picture that nearly cost his life.
Jack's picture
The boy survived without severe injuries, just iceburns in his arms, after falling 2,500ft. He later explained that he slipped when he was stepping back so he could get a wider range for the picture. He asked for help, and his classmates were horrified when they saw him falling down the mountain. He was airlifted off and taken to the Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
Amanda, his mom, says that Jack hoped that he would get a new phone, an Iphone 6 more specifically, but sadly for him, his Iphone 4S had survived the fall without any crack. The best part was that the picture was in it.
Jack and his mom say that he was lucky to be wearing his helmet, as many people at the top of the mountain weren't wearing it. After the fall it was destroyed and it had protected Jack. Nobody know what could had happen if he hadn't worn it.
Personally, I think that he is very lucky. He could've got a lot more hurt and he could've even died. People should be more careful when taking pictures. They just look at the phone screen and worry about anything else but a good angle. What I think is a bit stupid is that getting a new phone was the only thing that Jack was worried about. He was alive and he just thought he wanted and Iphone 6, unbelivable.
