Ever since the release of the first iPhone in 2007, a US study has found that phone-related injuries have risen dramatically. The injuries greatly varied from exploding batteries to injuries sustained via walking to a lamppost.
Readers of The Guardian provided their own stories of phone-related injuries. Here is just one of them:
One morning I was watching a YouTube video of the Superbowl half-time show where Madonna kissed Britney and Christina. I slipped down a steep set of stairs, taking off most of the skin on my left side and leaving me with a terrible ache in my elbow in cold weather that I now affectionately refer to as “Madonna elbow” whenever it strikes. I learnt a lesson that day!
