I dropped my iPhone from 10,000ft while skydiving – I tracked it down to a forest and was AMAZED by what I found

A SKYDIVER dropped his iPhone while at 10,000ft — and was stunned to then find it without a scratch.

Footage shows the device fall from Casey Flay’s pocket as he leapt out of a plane for a training session.

It then hurtled to the ground — protected by just a £10 case — as Casey, 27, sailed down 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, .

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 , 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.”;
