Apple's Crash Detection Assisted in a UTV Accident, But I'd Hesitate to Activate It.
Apple's iPhone crash detection feature recently played a crucial role in aiding a UTV driver involved in an accident in Kentucky. Local news reported that the Hayes Crossing-Haldeman Fire and Rescue team responded to a UTV crash in Rowan County where the passengers were unharmed, thanks to the prompt alert from the iPhone crash detection system. The Search and Rescue team emphasized the importance of keeping the crash detection feature enabled while riding vehicles for quick location tracking and assistance. Despite some issues with the software triggering false alarms for activities like snowmobiling and motorcycling, Apple has made improvements to reduce such instances. It is recommended to have a physical SOS beacon in addition to relying solely on the iPhone crash detection system for safety in off-road adventures.
