Adrenaline pumper – how high can you throw your smartphone?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's… a smashed screen. Oops

Forget wingsuits. Forget roller coasters. Forget Russian roulette. The quickest way to get our adrenal glands pumping is a nasty gadget pavement spill.

Oh, and this new app on Google Play called S.M.T.H (Send Me To Heaven), which measures how high you can throw your phone.

Tempting fate

Apple has pulled the app form the App Store for fear of smashed iScreens, but we’ve had a play around with it on one of our trusty Android devices and have left the ordeal unscathed.

It’s got world and local leaderboards to really test your nerve, though we wouldn’t recommend aiming for first place. It’s 33 metres and counting.

Check it out on Google Play if you dare, and good luck.

Esat has been a gadget fan ever since his tiny four-year-old brain was captivated by a sound-activated dancing sunflower. From there it was a natural progression to a Sega Mega Drive, a brief obsession with hedgehogs, and a love for all things tech. After 7 years as a writer and deputy editor for Stuff, Esat ventured out into the corporate world, spending three years as Editor of Microsoft's European News Centre. Now a freelance writer, his appetite for shiny gadgets has no bounds. Oh, and like all good human beings, he's very fond of cats.
