This literally happened to me yesterday. Went surfing for a few hours as I normally do on the weekends and left my iPhone 14 Pro Max in my bag inside my car. While surfing, noticed EMS, a firetruck, and a sheriff pulling up at the top of the cliff where I parked my car with my friend (thought nothing of it)
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

That’s a great question! I was not wearing my watch because the ocean water is toxic to it. Fairly certain you can’t swim with the watch in the ocean but perfectly fine in a pool!
