The Apple feature that automatically alerts 911 when a crash occurs has been going off in droves lately at Bonnaroo! These are false alarms — likely due to accidental physical bump-ins of Roo-goers.
That would be Apple’s “Crash Detection Mode” feature that was added to Apple’s iPhones and Apple Watches just last year. When a severe car crash is detected, the iPhone reads the alert and brings up an Emergency Call slider that users can access. If you’re unable to respond, the device automatically calls emergency services after a 20-second delay. And apparently the rapid movement or perhaps physical collisions of some festival goers has registered on some phone sensors as being a potential crash.https://loudwire.com/bonnaroo-festival-goers-making-accidental-911-calls-iphone-crash-feature/
