It's a good idea to bring your phone with you on a hike in case of emergencies, but if you drop it, sometimes it's better to leave it where it is than risk life and limb. One Australian woman learned this lesson the hard way when she was trapped upside down between two boulders for hours after falling while trying to retrieve her phone.
In a Facebook post yesterday, New South Wales Ambulance reports that the woman – named by ABC news as 23-year-old Matilda Campbell – slipped into a three-meter (10 ft) crevice after dropping her phone on a hike in the Hunter Valley earlier this month.
