Gadget insurer SquareTrade just came up with their demographics analysis of people most likely to break their iPhones, and some of those are no-brainers. Situated at the very top of the list are stock traders, who are the whopping 40% more likely than the average person to break their iPhone.

We'd wager to guess Apple's 20% stock price tumble in a month or so had resulted in many an iPhone hurled towards the wall by angry daytraders to skew the results.

Next in line are people with tattoos and motorcycle riders, which are 25% more likely than the typical iPhone owner to damage their phones. Last but not least are people who have sex more than once a week, and who score 15% more chance to break Apple's finest.

“Who knew that people who have sex regularly also have iPhone accidents more frequently,” exclaimed the SquareTrade CMO. “We were also surprised to see that stock traders and tattoo aficionados had something in common.”

A tattooed stock trader with a Harley in the garage and a hot wife should be the true target market for them OtterBox cases then.
