Wow, apparently the workaround isn't to turn off the feature but to turn the phone on airplane mode. How do they not have a toggle for it? I have Car crash detection on my Pixel too but it's a simple on/off setting. Glad I can just turn it off when at an amusement park, I imagine they will add a toggle now that it's a known issue.

I think you'd want to leave it on at ski resorts. If you crash into a tree going downhill it is usually a serious event. I don't know how sensitive the threshold is, however, so it probably needs some tuning around falling down versus serious crash.
johnandahalf13 t1_iroy2yq wrote
True. Not many people get in car accidents ~inside~ an amusement park. Although those little rental carts for people with mobility issues can be treacherous in the wrong hands. Lol
towenaar22 t1_iroy79b wrote
This is gonna sound dumb, but if it’s a toggle I’d be more likely to forget to turn it back on unless it reminded me. I’m almost guaranteed to take my phone out of airplane mode when so I can actually use my phone when I’m done with the ride.
A toggle would still be great, just in my particular case it’d be more difficult for me to manage since it’s not a feature that’s on my mind

elMurpherino t1_irp5d7b wrote
It has a toggle for “call after severe crash”. That would essentially be turning it off. But I guess perhaps the crash detection is still on but it just won’t call emergency services if it’s toggled off. Unfortunately I’m not willing to test it out.

I get the toggle, but I think that isn’t the Apple way. Someone is going to forget to turn it back on. Their model needs better training.

Honestly sounds like a solution in search of a problem. How many motorists are really involved in crashes where all occupants are unconscious but still alive, who will not be quickly spotted by another motorist, and within cell/emergency service range?
I was in a near emergency once, found 19 percent charge because my battery was constantly looking for service in a area with no coverage. First thing I did was turn my iPhone off because it’s not smart enough to manage battery life

I’m into rollercoasters, and have been on hundreds over the years. I’ve seen some absolutely gruesome injuries from cellphones. To the point where the more intense rollercoasters now have metal detectors because people ignore all the signs telling them of the danger. And even have had rides stopped on the lift hill because someone takes out their phone.
At 60+ mph that phone is a deadly projectile, please use common sense.

Friend, you never mentioned “proprietary face scanning software” until after your initial comment. Maybe you forgot, here’s what it was:
> Best workaround: don't buy apple products - you're not even utilizing their software
I guess you thought everyone would assume you meant “proprietary face scanning software”, somehow? And of course that’s the “only difference” - from what, who knows.
>I can also do that too: ooh tell me how telegram, chrome, whatsapp, snapchat, vlc is now owned by apple herherhehr
Not a very good job, I said proprietary, now owned by Apple. A swing and a miss.

People shouldn't have their phones in their hands, yes. Nothing wrong with having it in their pocket on a sit down roller coaster though, as it's safely trapped under the rider's butt. Also smart watches can have the same feature, and I know I don't take my watch off to ride rollercoasters.
eiram87 t1_irppazc wrote
Every rollercoaster I've been on has a spot for putting down anything you're carrying. It's usually just a cubby, and on coasters with more than one train they're labeled by train so the ride attendant can at least stop people from taking stuff from the wrong train's cubbies. It's obviously not 100% secure, but I think it's rare for stuff to go missing from there, I've certainly never had anything stolen, nor have I heard any stories from friends of it happening.

I would imagine that people falling asleep at the wheel and hitting a telephone pole or in a ditch in a rural area would be a situation that stands out and would be somewhat common. Also, relying on people to stop and help is not really a great option. Many many people would just drive on by.

It's easy to call people incompetent when something doesn't work perfectly right away but I can imagine it's really facking hard to detect the difference between a tumbling car and a rollercoaster going through a corkscrew. I'm sure Apple did think of this but deciding on the threshold when it is or isn't a crash is really hard and I think they would rather have it be too sensitive than not sensitive enough.

Sorry you got downvoted, I used to think the same thing. And before TikTok, that’s what I would do. Just bring cargo shorts with a zipper pocket for my stuff.
But people just take it out and try to film, and it’s really common. Which is a dumb idea because it’s going to come out looking like shit. And turn into a deadly projectile. People don’t realize how intense some rollercoasters can be. They can pull up to 5G of vertical, a couple Gs lateral, and a negative G or so of airtime, and it transitions between these forces quickly making it easy to drop the phone.
The parks all make a professional POV videos for each rollercoaster where the camera is bolted to the chassis of the train so it’s stable and you can actually see what’s going on.

And if it’s not metal detectors they have a security guard at the gate asking you if you have anything in your pockets.
Examples: Steel Vengeance (CP), El Toro (SFGADV), Kingda Ka, any Freespin, etc..
Go to r/rollercoasters and search for “metal detector” and you’ll see a bunch of different parks owned by different companies all using metal detectors on intense rollercoasters. Again, if not metal detectors they have security at the start of the line looking out for anyone with a phone. I’ve gone through metal detectors or security to get on rides probably hundreds of time
