If you happen to’re out and about in nature and drop your cellphone down a three-meter crevice between some boulders, possibly do not attempt to retrieve it.
The Register gives that recommendation after the Ambulance service within the Australian state of New South Wales this week reported the case of a lady who fell into such a crevice and spent hours inside it earlier than being rescued.
The lady apparently dropped her cellphone, tried to achieve for it, and ended up falling headfirst into the crevice, hanging by her ft. Her pals spent an hour attempting to get her out earlier than calling emergency providers.

They ultimately constructed a hardwood body, and used a winch to maneuver boulders. The lady’s ft grew to become accessible, however the passage out of the crevice was described as a “tight ‘S’ bend.” Eradicating the lady due to this fact took one other hour.
She emerged with only some scratches after a seven-hour ordeal.
The cellphone was not recovered. ®
