A SKYDIVER accidentally let his iPhone slip from his pocket while plummeting from 10,000 feet and was amazed to discover it later, completely unharmed.

A video captures the phone slipping from Casey Flay’s pocket as he jumped out of a plane during a practice session.

The phone plummeted to earth, safeguarded by nothing more than a £10 case, as Casey, 27, descended gracefully in a wingsuit.

Engineer Casey said: “There’s not a scratch on it — it’s absolutely amazing.

“It landed in a pile of leaves that cushioned the impact.”

He had not even realised it was missing until he was back on terra firma and packing his kit away in Dunkeswell, Devon.

He was then able to use the Find My Phone app to trace it three miles away — with a half-hour trek into the woods to retrieve it.

Casey, who is training for the Wingsuit Flying Championships in August in the Czech Republic, went on: “It narrowly missed landing in a swamp.

“I was so lucky.

“It doesn’t make any sense but I’m so happy to have it back.

“My whole life’s on that phone, I use it for banking and everything.

“I’ll keep a closer eye on it in future.”

Apple does not specify how high a fall the iPhone can survive — but urges users to “handle with care”.
