Roller coasters can trigger iPhone 14's Crash Detection Feature

Apple introduced a new feature in iPhone 14 series called 'Crash Detection'.

[{"selector":"#anim-45fb01b9-fa35-4445-82a8-dca9c83b7842","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-482484e5-d4cb-4923-ab89-30c31bb93042","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 160.17095%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Crash Detection Feature is to help iPhone user during emergency like car accidents

[{"selector":"#anim-53e53742-3dbf-4534-93d3-94594a379340","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c9576c8-e8d7-48de-b12c-76c35d0e25df","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 166.00187%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

When the iPhone detects car crash, it sends notification to emergency contact and also help connect you to emergency services.

[{"selector":"#anim-3c6b54b3-2047-4e4c-8260-d6b67cfd2fbe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b06d71db-a487-47de-ab21-ef81809628d8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.24788%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As per Apple, it's only going to work if you're actually driving and if you experienced a crash, so simply dropping the phone or falling shouldn't trigger it.

[{"selector":"#anim-5865d0c6-7947-470c-88d4-f8bed7dc7178","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b818921-5c6c-414b-8c4f-ee9115b6ac67","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 166.29004%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, in some cases, having your iPhone with you while riding in a roller coaster triggers Crash Detection feature.

[{"selector":"#anim-bbf1e3b4-7e7d-42ae-954e-f17ab6744a11","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-56c854db-9be5-49fa-b3f8-145d6d823533","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 137.09402%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This has happened in many amusement parks in the USA.

[{"selector":"#anim-1be0f8cb-6f2b-40ab-9cc0-2f94a5898eeb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85e2e464-8397-44d1-8ea3-be9be41ab230","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 209.67315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Since the iPhone 14 launch, 911 centers near Kings Island Amusement Park has received six such false crash detection calls.

[{"selector":"#anim-144e5e79-f644-4a7d-bbb5-853ec196c3ce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b7cae513-359d-471d-9f3b-ed2a08e48a33","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.01589%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The feature is likely triggered by the extreme speed-ups and slow-downs that happen during a rollercoaster ride, tricking the phone sensors.

[{"selector":"#anim-eb5ea84a-07a5-4422-9258-a22733fff014","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-176b934d-5335-4510-a68e-704ec70aa58c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.35211%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

These are troubling by eating up the precious time of 911 center people.

[{"selector":"#anim-7bd0d6c0-2318-4180-967b-872f5e59cbea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a6f0a066-64f4-48f5-8862-7ab57422d907","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.71130%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is advised to not take your phone while having a roller coaster ride.

[{"selector":"#anim-c916625c-87ae-41bf-b360-fcdae763f84a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-26630053-9619-47a7-b951-7c0cfb7c0100","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 160.17095%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
