The player said that the Xbox Series S literally saved his life

One of the features of the Xbox Series S game console is its small size. Players can take it with them simply by placing it in their backpack. One such player, who had an Xbox Series S console in his backpack, told how it literally saved his life.

A Reddit user described the story of how he was hit by a truck while riding his bike home with an Xbox Series S gaming console.

I was on my bike heading home from the local GameStop with this Series S boxed in my backpack. I was driving along one of the busiest roads in the city when I needed to cross an intersection. When my front wheel was on the road, I noticed a truck come out from behind the thick bushes and hit me.

At first I managed to keep most of my body above the steel bumper, but little did I know that the driver had not noticed me. I was pulled under the car and my backpack hit the pavement. The backpack not only tore apart almost instantly, but also began to shred the console, and then the controller.

If the console wasn’t in my backpack, I could have hit my head because I wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time. This box also saved my back from scratches.

Below are a few photos of the Xbox Series S console, which was in working order after the incident.
