The resource Accident Detection (Crash Detection) of the Apple Watches e iPhones The most recent ones may have caused some good false alarms since they were launched, but when they get it right, they always end up being essential in rescuing victims — as was the case with two people during last New Year’s Eve in the United States.
The first case occurred in Lake Pleasant, in the US state of Arizona. According to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Officethe resource was essential for the rescue of a 30-year-old man who ended up in an accident on a local road, yesterday (2/1), just before dawn.
The driver’s Apple Watch (model unspecified) detected what happened and sent a text message with his approximate location. His owner, however, might not be found at the scene of the accident, which ended up triggering an hours-long search that mobilized almost 20 volunteers and a helicopter.
The driver was only found hours later, around eight kilometers from the accident scene. According to police, he walked out of the vehicle alone and began looking for help, with only minor injuries.
The second case occurred last Friday (12/29) in Maury County, in the state of Tennessee. According to information from the WSMVHowever, the victim’s iPhone (model also not specified) was thrown out of the vehicle. Even so, the device managed to alert authorities regarding what had happened.
According to the county fire department, the vehicle was found lying in the middle of a creek. Fortunately, the driver was able to get out of the car without any major difficulties.
According to the rescue team, Accident Detection played an essential role in the rescue. According to them, if the victim had been trapped in the wreckage or even passed out, contact established via iPhone would be even more essential.
