iPhone 14 Pro’s crash detection feature is calling emergency services when people ride on rollercoasters

The new iPhone 14 Pro has a fantastic feature that activates when it thinks a user has been in a crash. This however isn’t great for theme parks, with the phone reportedly automatically calling emergency services after riding on a rollercoaster.






The new iPhone 14 Pro has a fantastic feature that activates when it thinks a user has been in a crash. This however isn’t great for theme parks, with the phone reportedly automatically calling emergency services after riding on a rollercoaster.

Thanks to the speed and abrupt stops featured in rollercoaster and thrill ride experiences, Chessington World of Adventures in the UK has banned the devices from a selection of their rides, including Vampire, Rattlesnake, Croc Drop, The Adventure Tree Carousel and Seastorm.

The move was taken after The Wall Street Journal reported that a visitor’s phone called 911 when she went on Mystic Timbers, a 109-foot-tall roller coaster at Kings Island amusement park in Ohio.

"The owner of this iPhone was in a severe car crash and is not responding to their phone," an automated voice says in the call to emergency services, before also providing longitude and latitude coordinates. Screams from others on the rollercoaster can be heard on the call.
