If you’re looking for the actual video captured on the iPhone, here’s the original source (3rd video):

Thanks :) And before you go watching it - there's nothing to see, just some flashes of color with flapping noises, then grass for 2 seconds.

I don’t know much about epilepsy, but my instincts tell me that people with it might not want to watch that video.

He's very fortunate that it landed on the beach, rather than in the ocean or on concrete. This is one of the great times that Find My iPhone comes in especially handy!

I know the Nokia has a solid reputation for being durable. I never thought of the iPhone being tested for durability, but it seems this is a pretty well known thing:

Honestly, he is lucky he didn’t kill anyone on the beach. Pretty unprofessional of everyone involved to stick something out of a plane without properly securing it.

Dropping any phone on a pile of sand at any height is unlikely to damage it too much. Terminal velocity is low and drag would slow it down, plus the sands loose structure would absorb much of the impact.

Even more spectacular are the survivals of people in similar circumstances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fall_survivors - especially Vesna Vulović.
