How many times have you heard one of your colleagues saying that a certain BlackBerry saved his life? Well what if someone told you that a RIM handset was exactly the piece of mountain equipment needed to save a man from falling over 700 feet and most likely dying?

David Fitzherbert is the guy in question. He was skiing in Switzerland when he dropped for about 70 feet until he was finally trapped between two rocks thanks to its Berry in his breast pocket. That extra thickness saved him for continuing the drop towards an imminent death. Simply amazing! Not to mention that RIM can use a whole different selling pitch now: BlackBerry Saves Lives!

From now on remember to pack your smartphone whenever you’re going on vacation, no matter what your friends tell you. And no matter if you’re not going to have good reception!
