A British skier's life was literally saved by his BlackBerry. David Fitzherbert was skiing in the Matterhorn and Monterosa peaks in Switzerland when the snow beneath him gave way and fell 70 feet into a crevasse.
"The snow gave way beneath me and I fell down a very deep crevasse. After 70 feet it narrowed and I became stuck like a cork in a bottle between the walls. Fortunately the extra inches of the Blackberry were enough to block the fall."
Fitzherbert broke his jaw, some teeth, his nose and a bone in his chest but managed to stay alive thanks to the extra thickness of his BlackBerry. His BlackBerry survived the fall and is still working today.
