Dunno about you guys, but I feels that's just way too stupid... I mean, why would you want to text while sky diving in the first place?!Erk

Wee're not sure if this is meant to prove that texting on Samsung's line of handsets is remarkably quick or if the ten individuals selected to text quickly whilst skydiving are just amazing multitaskers, but either way, the exercise has been executed. Samsung Mobile rounded up ten skydivers and equipped them with a Propel, Alias, Gravity, Rant or Messager in an attempt to set the "Guinness World Record for fastest test messaging while skydiving." The crew took a total of two jumps and landed safely each time, and now the Guinness team is breaking down the video to see if an award is in order. Check the read link for more images and a vid, but don't bother looking for an application to get on the 2009 team.

Okay, at least it isn't skydiving whilst drinking or something - got to give 'em that.

Is this meant to be some publicity stunt though?
