A lot of things had to go right for skier Michael Harris to make it off the mountain alive.
One key factor in his survival was his wife’s use of the Find My Phone app, which alerted her that something was wrong and helped rescuers find out exactly where he was buried.
“Up on that mountain, I’d resigned myself that I probably wasn’t coming down that mountain. I had kind of accepted my fate,” Harris said. “The surprise of waking up in the back of an ambulance, being treated, and feeling alive is something I will never forget.”
