This video from a GoPro that fell from a plane inadvertently became the perfect advertisement for the tech brand, even after it took eight months to recover the hilarious footage.
The micro camera had slipped from a skydiver’s hand before they’d jumped from an airplane and fallen thousands of feet down before crash-landing right into a pig pen.
Instead of breaking, the camera kept recording as a confused pig marched over and started chewing on it.
It just shows that inspiration for GoPro advertisements can come from anywhere – it could even fall from the sky.
