Crash detection on iPhone 14 constantly contacts 911 when user rides roller coaster

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Crash detection is one of the innovations introduced by Apple at the launch event iPhone 14 in early September 2022.

Crash Detection is a major collision detection feature where the user’s device will call emergency services if they don’t respond after 10 seconds.

Rescuers will receive the user’s device location, which is also shared with the user’s emergency contacts.

When launched, Apple states that this feature will only be active when the user is driving and has a collision.

For this reason, dropping the phone on the floor or leaving it on the street usually does not activate this feature.

Since the iPhone 14 went on sale, the 911 dispatch center near Kings Island Amusement Park has received at least six phone calls saying, “The owner of this iPhone has been involved in a serious car accident. .. “Except the owner was just on a roller coaster.

But it’s a different story when iPhone users take their mobiles on a roller coaster, because somehow It has crash detection active on several occasions.

Reported Wall Street newspaperOn Monday (10/10/2022), this incident occurred at several amusement parks across the United States.

Several cases of iPhone 14 crash detection that kept calling emergency services also occurred in Kings Island near Cincinnati and Six Flags in New Jersey.

In some cases, amusement park visitors’ cellphones make calls to emergency services while on a roller coaster.

Because they’re riding the roller coaster, iPhone and Apple Watch owners can’t do much until they’re done riding.

Some believe that the Crash Detection feature is on because the speed of the roller coaster goes suddenly and suddenly stops.
