If only there was some middle ground solution to this problem. Like pockets. Anyway, I guess this will never be solved. People will either chose to be free spirits like yourself or shackled to our soul sucking phones.
IceSeeYou t1_irs7lan wrote
Okay, and what if you get separated from your group in the park and have no way to contact them now? What if you want to take a picture of your family and friends? Of the scenery? Maybe your reference is smaller parks where that's less likely to happen with groups and people getting separated. This is just so fascinating - I've never heard of people leaving their phones at home when going to a theme park. I suppose it sort of makes sense if you squint hard enough.

Well congratulations. Do you suggest leaving valuables in a vehicle that can be stolen? Leaving your phone at home is fine if you live where the theme park is. What if you are on vacation?
Edwardc4gg t1_irsbloo wrote
idk not my problem cause i leave my phone at home since i live where said theme park is. i also know most of the really tall and fast coasters at said theme park actually will force you through a metal detector and not let you on with it and force you into a free locker.
thus, just leave it at home.

More obvious observation:
Geofence crash detection on rollercoasters in known amusement parks because people won't do that.
You could also disable crash detection for 5 minutes when G forces and speeds exceed a certain criterea (i.e. combination of speed, accel, force, and time) when in the entire confines of an amusement park and similar locations.
This is easily solved through software by design. It won't fix corner cases (like traveling carnival rides) but I bet it solves a significant number of fixed location issues.

None of that is about Crash Detection, though. That's the SOS system that the iphone has had for years and there's nothing to fix - it's working as intended. If you 'slide the wrong bar' YOU have told the iphone to call emergency services. Same if you clicked the lock button FIVE times.
Crash Detection is supposed to activate when there's severe jostling of the phone. It shouldn't activate on a simple drop, but it might need tuning.

Calling it now- this "feature" is going to be a lot more of a hassle than apple bargained for. There's no winning here- to make this a usable feature, it requires WAY more investment into things like geofencing, analytics around where and how people use their phones and data crunching around things like pop-up carnivals. I give it a few months before orgs like the FCC step in to put a stop to it.

tastyratz t1_irss3l8 wrote
Most rides are absolutely under 5 minutes so detecting high speed and forces inside a geofence and then disabling for a 5 minute period every time should cover... most if not all rides.
If Apple is worried about liability then they could pop a temp notification that the feature is currently disabled for x reason (just like you might see with a wet charging port on android).
This allows for automatic crash and fall detection feature disablement without user interactivity in false detection scenarios.
The 5 minute timer could start every time they get on a ride and they can still have fall detection walking the park. They could even tie in heart rate / apple watch false readings.
This is also an EXTREMELY broad and short solution by a Redditor with very little investment. I am sure any implementation would get far more complex. Maybe it's... 4 minutes? 3? a weighted answer depending on forces?
Either way, it can easily be refined.

BarbequedYeti t1_irsspmy wrote
Add geo-fenching around amusement parks to void all those by default, then you just have to deal with the traveling type fairs. You could probably even get a database with their setup addresses and geofence those off as well. It would take a bit of backend work, but would handle 99% of the false positives without user intervention.
SkyeAuroline t1_irst48i wrote
Okay, you meant "disabling for 5 minutes when those forces are detected in a geofenced area" - the way it was worded, it read like "disabling after 5 minutes of G-forces", which would be a whole lot harder to make work, lol. My mistake.

Integration with their maps service is probably a good route to take. Currently, I imagine the scope is set to something like “whenever phone is traveling fast and gets jerked around a lot.”
At the cost of protection while off-roading (lol to that), they could refine the scope by seeing if you’re actually on a road first.

Maybe check the direction of the acceleration.
If you drop a phone and don't crash you'll get 9.8m/s^2 down for half a meter to a meter and then a stop.
If you crash you'll also get quite a lot of lateral declaration as you hit a tree or whatever and brake hard. The initial breaking will probably be longer than the amount of time a phone takes to drop.

celaconacr t1_irti6tt wrote
I don't think you could detect the force direction quickly enough to do that.
On a static phone you can detect down using gravity. When the phone is potentially spinning and moving in any direction you can't as easily separate the forces applied from the phone motion. Essentially you get an output of forces in 3d but it isn't tied to a direction directly.

How so? Theme parks are pretty large swaths of land devoid of transit roads. If it detects what it thinks is a car crash and you happen to be 1) nowhere near a road and 2) inside a geofence of a known theme park, it's pretty easy to assume it's a false alarm.

When finally done surfing, I came back to 20+ missed calls from my emergency contacts (parents, brother) and several calls from 911. Turns out my phone in my bag while PARKED detected a "car crash" and let everyone know.
Of course, I couldn't respond because I was surfing for several hours...my parents literally thought I died in a car crash for a moment.
I checked to see if my car had maybe been hit by someone else to see if that triggered it but not everything was perfectly fine just a complete false alarm

Geofence is not the correct solution to this problem. It’s a bandaid to handle one failure case when the underlying system is broken. What happens when there’s a standalone roller coaster that isn’t in an amusement park? What happens when you crash your car on the outskirts of an amusement park?
Crash detection shouldn’t be going off for anything but a car crash. If you have to think about geofencing areas where phones are experiencing unusual forces, something is wrong with the feature.
Liquidwombat t1_irw2foj wrote
Possible but I’m skeptical, the feature is not just reliant upon shock/g force. It also uses pressure sensors and microphones so while I don’t think it’s impossible I do think that these stories are questionable until further verified.
guiltycornet77 t1_irw4q4t wrote
You don’t need the direction however, just the magnitude of the acceleration in 3D prior to impact. If it is within the ballpark of 9.8 m/s prior to the massive impulse spike caused by it hitting the ground you can disregard the spike as a drop. If the phone is at a resting state/a state with very little acceleration prior to impact (ie a phone on a dash in a car that immediately hits a wall) or has a large magnitude of deceleration (driver hits the breaks quickly before impact) than you can diagnose that as a crash. You don’t need direction of acceleration if you just simplify the problem

The best way for Apple to not have liability is to not have any of these features in the first place. The world was perfectly fine when the only way to call 911 was to physically press the buttons 9-1-1 in the phone app. And the day the flip phones they were physical buttons, and in the days of rotary phones it was a dial. There was also a large swath of time where a landline phone would have physical buttons.

You made it perfectly clear originally. The other poster was an idiot

The average person is not going to know about that feature

Anone is at the top of the screen, the other in the middle of the screen. People need to not be idiots and watch what they do.

You're an idiot. There are plenty of situations where someone needs emergencey services but is unable to do that. Unconscious? Car crash put the phone out of reach? Trapped? Just die, according to you.
Go play with your Android phone, troll.

There is literally a button to turn off the feature if you don’t like it and it will remain off until you choose to turn it on again. But you solution is “I don’t like it, so nobody should have the upturn of using it.”

At the very least it should be off by default with the option to turn it on

It is. When you set up your phone it asks you if you want to turn it on.
