Very good idea!  Wet cell phones are bad news.

If somebody ELSE gets hurt.  It actually saved a rancher's life when my 
mom, him, and I were rounding up cattle in the mountains (2 hours away 
from town) a couple years ago.  His horse fell on him (we think, we had 
to go looking for him along the ravine when the cows came... but he 
didn't follow).  Our cell phones NEVER get service up there, but 
miraculously it worked, and Mom called a helicopter in.

...long story, but just had to say, that cell phones are always good!

Glad the Cashel ankle safe works for you Jonni- I might want one of 'em.
