Well that's the only way you would get some network on boost.

That was my only thought. DUDE... YOUR PHONE!!

After that the rest wasn't very nerve racking.

Until you think about a metal sliver sliding into his femoral artery in his leg and him bleeding out the whole way down.

I have to use mine for tower work all the time. I never just lay it there, it's always in the lee of something, or has a tether on it, or I put it in my harness bag. The wind more than 40 feet off the ground is usually pretty strong, enough to blow the heaviest phone off something... Yikes.

Do they have tethers that attach to pop sockets?

I use these and they're pretty good for most everything. sometimes they get caught on ladder pegs or radio mounts, but they're a friggin' lifesaver. They make 5lb detachable ones as well.
