Where do you put your ipod or cell phone so that it doesnt break when you fall to the side or fall on a rail, and that you can get at it to change the song or text somone while you are skiing??

in the goggle or lens pocket near the top of my jacket. so like it's on my chest basically. if i ever fall i probably curl up to protect myself so that effectively protects the phone/ipod also

I just put my phone and ipod in the inside chest pocket of my jacket.  Probably not the best place, but I haven't fallen on them yet (knock on wood).  It only takes like a second to take off a glove and unzip my jacket to get them out too.

as said, chest pocket. for Ipods, i would suggest buying a cheapish, mp3 player, like a shuffle, for skiing. i have the shuffle with the clip and its so damn convenient.

shuffle for skiing, clip it either to my zipper of a hoodie, inside chest pocket on a coat, or belt

you'd get the shit knocked out of you and it'd hurt bad, but thatd be a gnarly fall, just dont fall on them lol, wrap it in a sock or some shit for padding

and realize that 120 lbs is your standing weight, not the weight that would be exerted by you falling, itd be probably 400 lbs if not more, i didnt take physics, but im in AP deductive reasoning.

shit, thanks for reminding me. i gotta figure this out

i used to have a dope ass pocket on my oakley jacket, it was right next to the zipper, and had a place where you could feed the headphones up to the top of the jacket, without them getting in the way. also you could fit a handle of tequila in there fyi.

now i have a saga jacket, and am going to go look for pockets.

Chest pocket cuz its your natural reaction when you fall to avoid landing on your chest. When I'm about to fall face and chest first, l i usually by reaction try to turn and land on my back.

Well it's still 120 pounds, but its the force that changes.  It'd be putting like 1k Newtons onto it if you fell at like 40mph.

And I use my chest pocket now unless I'm wearing just a hoodie, then its the pants pocket.  Also, don't put them i the same pocket, I did that and had a pretty bad fall, and my phone slammed into my nano and bent it right under the screen.  Like it still worked, but the screen was cracked.  It looked pretty fucking sick though, and I had a good story behind it.

MP3 goes in the chest pocket made for music players. If I fall and hit my chest hard enough to break the MP3 player, I am going to be worried about a hell of a lot more than my jams.

My cell is the Casio GZ'one which is super durable, so I just put it in my normal jacket pocket.

Yea I was an idiot and kept it in my side pocket once. Fell and cracked the screen. Chest pocket sounds like the best.
