I work dispatch at a ski resort. I probably get 3-4 calls a day from our state dispatch — “Hi this is Vermont 911 agent 1234, we’ve received another crash detection from an iPhone with no answer.”

We’ve stopped sending patrol for crash detection. Half the time the coordinates they give us are way off. I’ll write down the callback number and log the call, but if someone’s actually hurt it’ll get called in.

So far, I’ve only had one crash detection call where someone was actually hurt, and the secondary line started ringing with someone calling in for the same person while I was still on the line with 911.
