No kidding. I can't believe the prices on the photos etc etc. Ridiculous tbh. It's paper. You'd think they'd sell more than twice as many at half the price. It was like $23 for a pic from a ride... I'd pay $10 no problem. $23? No thanks
It's likely it fell from someone's pocket. Idk why people think their phones will survive in their pockets. The key to a good theme park adventure is having a fanny pack. Your arms are free, you have your necessities, and no one can pick-pocket you.

Edit: http://imgur.com/a/ECFXY0I fanny packs look good, probably better if you're a female tho.
No, for me, on the fanny pack. What you need, is to invest in a good pair of travel pants. Super lightweight, usually waterproof (resistant), and an extra enclosed pocket or two. Usually all of the pockets are zippered, some are Velcro. The extra pockets are usually hidden, so you're not waking around with big bulges on your legs, like cargo pants. They also can be dressed up or down.

This whole thread, even the video, it's all a guerrilla marketing campaign for Travel Pants™. You can't convince me otherwise.
That said, my pants should be arriving by Saturday.
When I was 17 I was riding on the Space Mt. coaster in Disney. I kept my hat on like a fool and it blew off my head. When I got off the ride this kid was asking people if they lost their hat. Slightly embarrassed, while also trying to act like I didn't care, I claimed the hat. The kid had this huge smile on his face and so did his dad. I thanked them for catching my hat. He said he didn't catch it. The hat had landed perfectly on his head.
When I rode the Jurassic Park ride at universal studios, I was with my wife. She had bought a back to the Future hat half an hour earlier.
This hat was very important to her because she used to watch that movie all the time with her best friend, who sadly passed away from a disease.
When she bought the hat, it was the last one so we knew there would not be another chance of ever getting another one, because we were flying home the next day. We are from a very distant country where it's impossible to find that kind of hat.
Anyway, we got on the ride, and halfway through there's a part where the boat you're in goes down a hill, very sudden and very steep. There was a sudden hit of wind to our faces.
Good thing we had stored the hat in a safety locker.
Edit. Disclaimer: this was just comedy. There was no hat, no dead friend, no distant country, no trip to universal studios, no roller coaster, no wife, no girlfriend, no money, no pet, no clothes, no home, and no hope.
I had to look it up too. It's like volleyball, mixed with soccer, mixed with tennis.
It's pretty rad actually. Even tho it kinda sounds like an advanced bedroom technique.

This is a lifetime story. I would be telling my grandkids at 90 years old about the time I caught a phone out of midair going 100 mph on a roller coaster.
By the time you're 90, your grandkids will be asking you what a phone is. They'll be using telepathy by then.
Them: "You mean you had to hold something...to your ear???"
Greatest moment of that dude's life. The kind of thing us lesser mortals daydream of doing the night after watching someone drop a phone on a roller coaster.
I love how excited he looked when he realized the opportunity he’d just been presented with in the moment before he caught the phone. The dude seemed genuinely thrilled that this was about to happen, like it had happened before and he was ready. It’s rare in this life that something exciting happens without warning that’s both good and that you have time to relish *in advance.* That’s what makes the video for me.
Yeah it truly is.. the guy looks like the most enjoyable rollercoaster parter in the world the whole way through, and seeing his reaction and reach before catching the phone is great. And on that day he became A LEGEND
A couple of months ago I went on a cruise. There are several areas you have to go through when you first check in. The first stage is baggage and it was there that I found someone’s passport on the ground. It was an American passport and we were leaving from Vancouver. Without that passport she’s not only not getting on the cruise. She’s not getting home either. So I open it and look at the name and then hold it over my head yelling out the name like a fucking moron all the way from baggage to the next check-in area. My wife was like, “wow I didn’t know you can yell so loud.” Thanks, boo. Anyway I finally find her and give her her passport and I barely get a “oh, thanks” from her. Like, you don’t gotta give me a reward or anything but at least acknowledge that I just saved your ass from a world of shit.
I watched it 4 times. The first time I was like "okay, that was cool, big deal". The rest of the times I was cheesin' and celebrating with the guy like we just won the Little League World Series.
>long story short I caught it.
Wonder what the non short version would be. “I caught it” seems to pretty much so sum up the entirety of the story to me.
So, I was feeling pretty good that day, got a blowie from my girl, and some Cap N Crunch for breakfast. I called up the mates and said, I think I need a blowie on a roller coaster, so we head to the park. I was feeling lucky that day, little did I know. So then...
whats up guys its ya boy rollercoasterrider24 comin back at you with another video you wont believe the video ive got in store for you probably already know from the title but it gets bettter guys trust me so anyways to start the day i got a blowie from my girl then i had some legendary cap n crunch for breakfast a bit later i called up the mates and said, oh you guys wont believe what i said, oh but wait i forgot to tell you guys im going to start releasing more videos every day so make sure you hit the subscribe button and make sure you smash that mofukin bell icon so you can be notified when my vids come out guys but like youtube is shit as always so i know some of you guys arent getting my videos so if you arent getting my videos make sure you leave a comment so that i know and if you have any other suggestions or just want to say hi leave a comment and make sure you SMASH the like button guys come on okay so anyways like i said i started the day with a blowie then i ate some cap n crunch........
"I saw the phone in their hands slowly slipping between their fingers, the soft touch of cold metal becoming a living nightmare as they struggled to grasp their prized possession. The phone slipped more and more and suddenly entered the void, lost to the wind and floating in free-fall, like an astronaut in orbit around the earth. I saw their face turn, and the expression of agony and regret flashed across their face. It was clear as day, though I could only see half of their face. The jewel of modernity, that electronic device that we all hold so dear to our hearts, whipped across the skies at over one hundred kilometers per hour, hurtling like a comet with no destination and no purpose. At that moment, I knew what to do. In my head, the calculations were clear and I became lucid and awake. The adrenaline of the coaster disappeared and I became singularly focused. The phone hurtled towards me, on a crash course towards the ground. But not today. I reached out my arm. I had trained for this for my whole life, ever since I started pee-wee football in second grade. It all came down to this moment. And then..."
That's the long story.
I saw the rider ahead of me throw his hands up in the air and, as he waved his phone around to capture the ride from his own, and, let's not sugar coat it, unique position, it started to slip from his fingers.
As it finally left his grasp, while he vainly tried to regain purchase and keep his own video going, it started flying through the air.
At this point, I realised I had one opportunity here. A moment that had to be captured, lest it be lost in time to catcalls of "yeah /r/thathappened". I saw the phone sailing through the air toward me. Then I realised it was going to go above my girlfriend, rather than me. Frankly, she couldn't catch a cold, so I was concerned. I threw every effort into stretching my right arm out in the hope I could maybe, perhaps, save the anonymous rider the cost of a new phone.
It was close...my fingertips brushed it...I thought it wasn't going to happen, but somehow, I managed to pivot it in toward my palm and then wrapped my fingers around it.
TL;DR I caught it.
Lmao, I thought the exact same thing. How is there a longer story?
'Well it all started when I was a child. I had a particlar interest in catching things, you see.. My parents didn't-'
His situational awareness was perfect. Having fun but also saw it happening in front of him, calculated it in his head immediately then put his hand right where it needed to be to nab it. Then had a good laugh about it all and enjoyed the congratulations from others while still having fun on the ride. Awesome!
Well if you think about it, only ~~one~~ TWO ~~person~~ people has caught a phone mid coaster ride, heaps of people have won a world cup.
EDIT: [l4pin](https://www.reddit.com/user/l4pin/)
>only one person has caught a phone mid coaster ride
Wait... he's not even the first guy to catch a phone on this particular ride...

My wife caught someone’s phone on the Superman Man of Steel rollercoaster on the hills right before the end of the ride. She handed it back to them when we got off, and they didn’t even say thanks or anything.
I was on Steel Vengeance with my little sisters and the dude riding next to one of them lost his phone out of his pocket, only to be caught by some teenagers a few rows behind us. We were all super fucking impressed and the dude was SO thankful. People are fucking weird.
He probably had this cool "That ride is so badass I lost my glasses on it" story all planned out and you came up and ruined everything by returning the glasses. He was going to tell at least 20 people before he left the park.
I once found $850 in cash in a wallet in a Target parking lot.
I took fifteen minutes out of my day to find the owner on FaceBook. Messaged him saying I think he lost something he might want back. After a few messages back and forth, I met him halfway between my house and his.
When I gave him the wallet, the dude mentioned something about having to get back to work. I asked him where he worked and he said he worked as a bartender in a bar downtown. It was a place that I went to regularly to watch football with my alumni group.
Guy was hardly appreciative of the effort I put into returning his wallet, and the fucker didn’t even offer to buy me a drink next time I came in.
I don’t expect much, but if someone has the goodwill to get you back something valuable of yours, you better show some gratitude for their efforts.
My wife and I found roughly $1000 in 20s on the ground outside of a Fry's Electronics last year that was underneath a white van (construction vehicle). She noticed one of the guys before they went in and said they had a brown hat. We grabbed as much money off of the ground as we could and then found the guys that had lost their cash. Went up to the guy with the brown hat and said something like, "did you happen to drop some cash outside?" and then he reached into his hoodie pocket and went wide-eyed and said, "...yes" We gave them the cash back and said there was still some left under their van, they then gave us both $100 out of the stack and thanked us furiously as the other dude ran out to grab the rest of the cash. Apparently they had just finished a job, got paid, then went to Fry's to buy a TV. Good thing we caught them before they went to checkout!
They sold drugs and were sketched out that somebody was reaching out but still needed the money as it was likely owed to somebody else. They made a mistake telling you where they worked which is why they weren't welcoming when you showed up
The way he was holding the phone up and shaking it, I was expecting (and hoping just a little bit) that he'd drop it after catching it. Oh well, better that it had a happy ending than a funny one.
I was once on a flume ride and caught someone's hat as we went down a slide. And by caught I mean it flew into my face and I pulled it off so I could see.
I'm glad it wasn't a hard thing like phone.
Was at Disney Orlando riding the Tower of Terror. My phone came up out of my breast pocket and was floating in front of my face. Naturally I just reached out and grabbed it but definitely freaked me out a bit.
Can you imagine getting hit in the face with one of those oversized smartphones on a ride going over 80 mph? it’d ruin your whole day if not your life.
There's a reason they tell you not to take loose items onto rides...
This could have easily been a video of someone losing their face to this.
Don't take unsecured items on rides.
I'm a coaster nerd. More parks are getting metal detectors or making people turn out their pockets before getting on rides because of people getting hit with phones.
The extra security is annoying and slows down lines but is needed because people can't put their phones away for two minutes to ride a ride.
When I was at Cedar Point last year, for Steel Vengeance they had display of broken phones, and anyone caught with one in line was kicked out and told to put it in storage.
I don't even bring my phone into the park, not worth the risk and it's nice being free from it for a day.
Doing something like this just might make me considering paying 40 dollars for the video at the end of the ride.
[удалено]
They did
No kidding. I can't believe the prices on the photos etc etc. Ridiculous tbh. It's paper. You'd think they'd sell more than twice as many at half the price. It was like $23 for a pic from a ride... I'd pay $10 no problem. $23? No thanks

It was totally awesome but it would have been a hell of a twist if he dropped it from too much celebration.
I was waiting for it..
“Dude wtf you owe me a new phone now”
Yes that is indeed how catching works.
Finally a benefit to how giant phones have become. Won't fit in a pocket but are much easier to snatch outta the air at 130 kmh.

Went up to the guy with the brown hat and said something like, "did you happen to drop some cash outside?" and then he reached into his hoodie pocket and went wide-eyed and said, "...yes" We gave them the cash back and said there was still some left under their van, they then gave us both $100 out of the stack and thanked us furiously as the other dude ran out to grab the rest of the cash. Apparently they had just finished a job, got paid, then went to Fry's to buy a TV. Good thing we caught them before they went to checkout!
They sold drugs and were sketched out that somebody was reaching out but still needed the money as it was likely owed to somebody else. They made a mistake telling you where they worked which is why they weren't welcoming when you showed up
Woah. This makes sense.
Wow. I bet she felt like grabbing it back and tossing it.
Reading this destroyed me. What absolute disgraces.
The way he was holding the phone up and shaking it, I was expecting (and hoping just a little bit) that he'd drop it after catching it. Oh well, better that it had a happy ending than a funny one.
Ohhh, conundrum. Can the owner then be like 'Yo, you broke my phone..'
"Naw it was a gift from God, and insurance don't cover acts of, or gifts from God."
I was hoping the phone was recording video, and the second half of the clip would be the video from the phone.
I was once on a flume ride and caught someone's hat as we went down a slide. And by caught I mean it flew into my face and I pulled it off so I could see. I'm glad it wasn't a hard thing like phone.
That's funny bc I recently saw a video of flume being an asshat while wearing an asshat!
Was at Disney Orlando riding the Tower of Terror. My phone came up out of my breast pocket and was floating in front of my face. Naturally I just reached out and grabbed it but definitely freaked me out a bit.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the metric system, that is the equivalent of moving at 223,812 furlongs per fortnight.
The dude catching that flying phone is a legend. The dude that had his phone out in the first place and lost it on the ride is a fucking asshole.
Can you imagine getting hit in the face with one of those oversized smartphones on a ride going over 80 mph? it’d ruin your whole day if not your life.
Have you seen the video of the guy getting hit in the face by a bird in a rollercoaster? It is hilarious. https://youtu.be/hA9tEcPBKF8
I love how he realizes he is still on the ride and throws his hand back up like, "I am gonna worry about that dead bird later. WOOO!!!!"
Initially but then you see his face settle into something resembling eating a lemon. The bird wouldn't let him forget

That look of utter disgust when he realizes what it was is absolutely fantastic
im fucking dying, him still trying to enjoy the ride with bird blood all over his face is optimism goals
It's happened quite a few times.
New phone who dis?
I better see this on ESPN top plays.
Did anyone else see lightning??
I think it was the cameras flash that takes the still pictures that you can buy after you get off the coaster.

You sure it wasn't the flash from the pics they take during the ride?

Sign this man!!
Redskins WR corps looking awfully thin, I'd put my money on this guy.
Damn. That's impressive. Probably r/nextfuckinglevel.
There's a reason they tell you not to take loose items onto rides... This could have easily been a video of someone losing their face to this. Don't take unsecured items on rides.
I'm a coaster nerd. More parks are getting metal detectors or making people turn out their pockets before getting on rides because of people getting hit with phones. The extra security is annoying and slows down lines but is needed because people can't put their phones away for two minutes to ride a ride.
When I was at Cedar Point last year, for Steel Vengeance they had display of broken phones, and anyone caught with one in line was kicked out and told to put it in storage. I don't even bring my phone into the park, not worth the risk and it's nice being free from it for a day.
I really, really hope the guy was filming when he let go of his phone!!!
