How about a sign at the entry to the coaster that says dropped phones can be claimed at customer service after they are crushed.

This is why there is not a toggle.

>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.

Here’s a workaround: Don’t go on rollercoasters.
Me = genius.

Surely the workaround is to just not take your phone on the rollercoaster?

Over $11k (US) for a bike that only works on water. Yeah no thanks.

Absolutely, there are great reasons to either like or dislike iPhones and having productive discussions about those reasons on a public forum is really a way to try and bring visibility to the issues and preferences.

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.

They’re not!!! The instant it happened my knee jerk reaction was to pull it out from under but I couldn’t until she rolled off

I’d even go for something as simple as “Turn off crash detection until I leave this location”

😂 on my Lock Screen the flashlight button is also the Dial 911 button.

They’re NOT light. Add another 250 for the rider, point it down a hill, and someone’s going to get some broken bones.

Skydives are triggering crash detection too. Turns out that the jolt of a parachute opening appears quite like a crash to the new Apple devices.

A lot of parks now have free lockers near the ride, they give you enough time to ride and collect your things. Zip up pockets are good too though.

Yep. Apple loves to add feel-good features that always end up being way more hassle than they're worth.
Just like the "dial 911" button on the Apple watch that is also the power button

If you’re easily winded by a standard peddle boat, this thing will probably kill you.
