    With any degree of speed or intensity you basically turn into a rag doll. Snow surfaces can be plenty hard enough to destroy a smart phone at those speeds.

    I know plenty of people who have learned very expensive lessons when they thought their phone was safe.

      If you’re being pinballed down a mountain, I think a cracked screen is the least of your worries at that point.

      Also, phone issuance exists for like $15 a month. Call me weird but I’ll live “dangerously” with my phone for the reason that getting stranded like this would be awful

        You would be amazed how much punishment the human body can take without injury.

        Insurance plans don’t hurt, but even then? This isn’t a situation I expect to get caught in. The mountain tucked up big time.
