How do you not drop your phone on a rollercoaster?

Pockets with zippers, use a backpack or purse, some roller coasters have velcro pockets in front of the rider to store phones and sunglasses, I've been known to use those as well. What would you do if your phone fell while riding a rollercoaster? Probably get a new one.



The most effective way to ensure you don't drop your phone on a rollercoaster in 2026 is to use zippered pockets or a crossbody "runner's belt" (like a FlipBelt) that sits flat against your waist. Many modern coasters, such as Iron Gwazi or VelociCoaster, have intense G-forces and "airtime" that can easily pull a phone out of a standard open pocket. If you don't have zippered pockets, a high-value peer tip is to use the on-ride lockers or the "storage bins" provided at the station for free. Never attempt to hold your phone in your hand to film a "point-of-view" (POV) video; not only is this against park safety policies, but if you drop it, the phone becomes a dangerous projectile that can seriously injure fellow riders. For those who absolutely want their phone with them, wearing cargo shorts with secure button or velcro flaps is a classic "thoosie" (enthusiast) strategy. Ultimately, the safest place for your phone is locked in a bin or a car's glovebox, allowing you to enjoy the thrills without the $1,000 risk of a shattered screen.
