It's one of those moments that has to be seen to be believed - and luckily it was caught on video.

这是一个必须亲眼所见才能相信的事情——幸运的是，它被人拍了下来。

Timaru man Samuel Kempf was recently in Europe representing New Zealand in the Fistballing World Championships in Switzerland last month.

近日，Timaru的居民Samuel Kempf代表新西兰参加了上个月在瑞士举办的浮士德球（拳头球）的世界锦标赛。

Fistballing：浮士德球是德文直接音译，另一名称为“草地排球”乃是它结合排球与网球技巧在草地上比赛之故，直译叫拳头球。

After the championships, Kempf took a holiday and headed to Barcelona, where he visited a theme park and got the best holiday footage: showing him on a rollercoaster, catching a phone flying through the air at 134km/h.

比赛结束后，Kempf去往巴塞罗那度假，他还游玩了当地的一个主题公园，并且得到了这段旅行中最酷的一段视频：他坐在过山车上，徒手接住了一部以每小时134公里向外飞去的手机。

rollercoaster：过山车；剧烈起伏的事物

Footage of that moment, uploaded to YouTube by Kempf, has gone viral with more than 160,000 views in the first 24 hours.

Kempf随后将自己的这段视频发到了Youtube上，短短24小时里这段视频的点击量就超过了16万次。

"I was in Spain at Port Aventura on shambhala ride and saw the person a few rows ahead drop their IPhone X," he wrote in the video description.

他在视频描述中写道：“我当时正在西班牙Port Aventura主题公园里乘坐Shambhala过山车，我看到坐在我前面几排的一名乘客的IPhone X手机从手里飞了出去”。
