>My problem is that I have very small ear canals, and all of the earbuds that rely on ear canal pressure to stay in (the vast majority of earbuds on the market) are painful and uncomfortable for me.

Same problem here. Try some Symbio W hybrid tips. They're silicone outers with memory foam inners and they have rescued so many pairs of IEMs from my "these are uncomfortable" box.

I would imagine that people falling asleep at the wheel and hitting a telephone pole or in a ditch in a rural area would be a situation that stands out and would be somewhat common. Also, relying on people to stop and help is not really a great option. Many many people would just drive on by.

Every rollercoaster I've been on has a spot for putting down anything you're carrying. It's usually just a cubby, and on coasters with more than one train they're labeled by train so the ride attendant can at least stop people from taking stuff from the wrong train's cubbies. It's obviously not 100% secure, but I think it's rare for stuff to go missing from there, I've certainly never had anything stolen, nor have I heard any stories from friends of it happening.

People shouldn't have their phones in their hands, yes. Nothing wrong with having it in their pocket on a sit down roller coaster though, as it's safely trapped under the rider's butt. Also smart watches can have the same feature, and I know I don't take my watch off to ride rollercoasters.
