Reply to comment by FormerlyUserLFC in Roller coasters are triggering iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Crash Detection, here's a workaround by chrisdh79

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.

It IS a serious event. I work on a ski hill and someone died when he crashed into a tree last season. Got to see the helicopter land and everything…

Yep. I live next to the French Alps and resorts closed during the COVID pandemic because ski accidents accounted for something like 25 to 33% of ER visits which we wouldn't have been able to handle. Skiing/snowboarding is fairly dangerous as far as sports go.

Can confirm its definitely not safe. Wondering how the phone would respond to landing impacts on bigger size jumps.

I didn't know she was dead until now. 13 years late.
