Default ipod kills guy......allegedly !

well not the ipod per se, but a bloody big helicopter just because he couldnt hear it

iPod student killed by crashed 'copter | Metro.co.uk

In typical dramatic fashion, the newspaper said it was the fault of the guy wearing and listening to his ipod too loud

I'd like to know what the proper response is when a helicopter drops out of the sky onto your head - duck and cover?

Pretty basic really.
Take away one or more of your senses and you'll not react as well as those who have full faculties.

I wonder if this has anything to do with swiss t
