Long story short, it survived a 3,000 foot free fall!!
Short story long, the owner mounted the camera on his helmet and wanted to take awesomely epic skydiving pictures and “Oops, it slipped and fell”…
Both lens and camera are fine with a body crack and jerky zooming (From source)…
We don’t buy DSLR cameras to drop’em from high places (Or maybe throw them at tanks), but hey, you might resort to throwing it at some cop when you catch’em dating someone and going on a cruise by their police car =P (I yet to witness one in Kuwait…)
