iPad dropped from 1300 feet and lives to tell the tale

The folks over at G-Form like making durable products that can stand up to the most extreme situations, but not as much as they like making crazy marketing videos for those products.

Now G-form has to make protective sky diving suites out of the same material that of the ipad case. Just in case his chute won\'t open.

Why was that trolling? Maybe he has an iPhone and genuinely wishes it was more durable.

YOU are the troll for assuming EVERY comment that has the word "iPhone" or "Apple" in it is some "fandroid" (your favorite word) bashing your favorite thing in the world.

Get over yourself you stupid f**k.

gee don't you think that's to much . i meant just to test an ipad you have to go on a plane that's exactly 1300ft and then open the door which is more risky to the life and then finally throw it out ALL THIS JUST FOR A TEST!!! Seriously human world is going crazy in the world of tech

guess they really think their product has the chops. And if the test was successful with both cases maybe it does.

Yes, it's a little extreme, but it kind of reminds me of what they do on mythbusters: why do they end up blowing everything up at the end and going further then needed?
Cause they can, cause it's fun, and cause it's fun to watch :D
