I Dropped My Pen Down The Center Of A Ten Story Stairwell :(

WOW not that is a selling point for a pen if ever I did hear one! In fact, such a good point that I added one to my collection today :roflmho:

 

 

Ha! I too decided to go for the HS from Bryant at Pentime.com after reading this thread. I don't anticipate dropping my new pen down ten floors, but this story has me pretty confident it will survive the accidental fall from a desk.

YOu never know.... I had a cellphone that got chucked while i took a spill on my bike. It flew 20 fee in the air, hit the concrete 2 times and survived. However, it didn't survive the 3 foot fall from my pocket to the floor.

It is interesting how hitting just the right (or wrong, as it usually turns out) way can do that.

 

That is an amazing story; I thought I'd never get a HS, but after this I'm reconsidering. Unfortunately getting one in the near future would break my budget as much as that 10-story fall would break most pens.

That's pretty impressive and not to be attempted by the faint of heart. Next time attach a bungee cord.

I'm glad all turned out well.

My story did not have such a happy ending. I dropped the cap of my red Esterbrook J on the bathroom floor while I was cleaning the pen in the sink. The cap managed to find the small hole in the heat duct grating and fall through, down two stories into the ductwork in the crawl space under the house. It's still there.
