This "guy I know"... sent his wife who was overseas a photo from the mirrorball rap at 12.
He and his mate climbed back up mirror ball and took photos and checked the weather update and maxed out the juice on both phones. When they got back to the carpark, they managed to fire off an SMS to their safety contact, watching the apple symbol appear directly after.
Whatever, we'll be back in Sydney soon, all good, they thought.
Meanwhile, this guy's wife who is in Europe panics, sends half a dozen emails and Facebook posts etc. asking if anyone has heard from her husband... The buzz builds, everyone is calling.. as this guy obliviously rolls home after a good day's climbing....
Luckily his message got through and the panic ended - but when he started his phone up it was pinging with messages...

Lesson? Ignore your safety contact and make sure you call your wife?
Or don't use your phone to take photos with?
