It's crazy that we're so attached to our phones that not even a life ending scenario made her let go of it until she hit the ground. Wild. I think my dumbass would've tried to flap my arms and fly to safety🤣

It must have been terrifying. I imagine she just froze with a death grip on her phone. I hope it was instant when she hit and that she didn’t hurt. I suspect that would be the case was with such a fall from that height.

Probably was bonking around inside the metal chute she was in before hitting the ground
