That pig really tried to pig out on the device! He must have thought its manna from heaven.

I liked one of the comments in the twitter thread: "The spin rate matched the frame rate!"
My head was spinning for a while after watching that!!

PS: I would like to know what camera (or phone) survived that fall and continued recording???!!

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

I'm betting on a Go-Pro. It had a parachute attached to dampen the impact. We know this because the tumbling stopped and the lens showed the last few seconds before landing pointing at the horizon.
