How LoversLab saved my life (it's not a joke)

(sorry for my "fantastic" English)

 

Eight days ago I was on a raid with a group of volunteers. Another air alarm caught us on the road at night and we took refuge in a destroyed building. For a year and a half of the war, this had already become quite familiar to all of us. We took all possible measures and calmly waiting for the end of the alarm.  We drinking coffee, talking, double-checking equipment. Just a simple actions to not thinking about possible bad things that can happens. I decided to watch the news on my smartphone. I didn’t find anything interesting and already want to put it in my pocket (I carry a smartphone in the side pocket of my cargo pants),  but I accidentally noticed a notification in the browser about new posts on LL. Decided to read up on it.

 

Literally 10 seconds later we heard the sound of a rocket. I hurriedly stuffed my smartphone into the left side pocket under arm on my  unloading vest ( my body armor has no protective plate there, only thin fabric) instead of putting it in my pants pocket as usual. 

 

The last thing I remember is a powerful blow to the left side and a sharp pain. After that, I just lost consciousness. Then everything happened almost instantly: a bright flash, a powerful explosion (the missile hit the target 60 meters away from us), a shock wave and burning heat. Head and lungs squeezed like in a vise.  The last thing I remember is a powerful blow to the left side and a sharp pain. After that, I just lost consciousness.

 

Fortunately, the impact force was already small and the fragment could not break through the battery compartment of the smartphone. Just stucked in it and bent the phone almost in half. As a result, I escaped  with a slight concussion, a large bruise, a pinched spine and a couple of small cuts. I had to lie in the hospital for a week under the supervision of doctors and undergo a short course of rehabilitation classes (he repaired my back). If not for a smartphone and a passport in the side pocket, everything would be much worse.

 

Luckily no one died in that situation. Escaped with a couple of minor wounds.

 

Finally, I'm home and can notify you of what happened. The doctors advised me to rest, but its not my way :) I’d better get back to work. So wait for new toys. Now I won't be able to do volunteer work for a long time, so I'll focus entirely on mods (ribs still hurt, I have to do something to divert attention from them, its piss me off XDD).

 

Here is such a story. 

 

 

 

So thanks to the LL website for the news (and to the Samsung for strong smartphones) :)

Time to replace the non existing protective plate with a Tablet? (works for the Russians I heard, but has to be one from the Ukraine) ?

Good to hear that you are that lucky.

 

Slava Ukraini ?

Good to hear that you are alive and well ?

Meaning, Ukraine needs a bigger supply of Samsungs to keep you all safe?

First of all Samsung is a military concern. I think they can give us a much more interesting devices and support. Especially in rocket building questions. XD
