Hunt an iPhone X on the fly in the middle of a roller coaster. Is what happens If you want to record the ride on the roller coaster with your mobile. At a height of meters and at a blazing speed your brand new iPhone X escapes and flies away ...
Like everything in life, you have to be lucky. Surely you remember that image of the boy who queued for hours to be one of the first to buy the new iPhone, and at the very door of the Apple Store, focused by a multitude of cameras, nervous with emotion, he opened the box face down and the mobile fell to the ground.
Today we explain the opposite. You have to be a bit reckless to want to record your journey on a roller coaster with your brand new iPhone X. The Shambhala attraction in Port Aventura in Salou (Tarragona) is one of the longest free fall attractions in the world. When it opened in 2012, it broke various records, including being the fastest roller coaster, with a top speed of 135 km / h.
The accelerations and inertias experienced along the way are brutal. One of the safety rules is that you cannot carry loose objects that can be thrown, such as glasses, hats, etc. What if you carry your mobile in your hand to want to record the journey? Well, the most normal thing is that it flies off.
What is not so normal is that a tourist from a back wagon, pick up the said mobile on the fly, as we can see in the video lesson. In this document posted by the tourist himself, it is clearly appreciated how he sees a mobile phone flying and picks it up, celebrating it enthusiastically as if it were a baseball "Home Run". As he himself explains, it turned out to be an iPhone X from another passenger who was in the previous wagon, who thanked him and in what way.
You know, if you get on a roller coaster, leave your iPhone well tucked away. These things only happen once in a lifetime….
