Yeah I’m freaked out by the number of people having their phone on them when riding amusements - I’ve seen teens whip out their phones to film the craziest shit while been flipped and spinned l by a ride at crazy g-forces lol

My local theme park has a wall of shame of smashed phones they’ve collected as a deterrent but it clearly doesn’t work that well!

They should probably collect a lot of real world data from amusement park rides.

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.

I wonder if they DO integrate with Maps. That's a good idea.

I mean, 17 years.

If they would have said 6 months I would have wished them luck but assumed it was doomed.

As far as cheating, I wouldn't assume that. They could literally be in an open marriage for all i know. Could be they're just wealthy and when they get pissed off they like having angry sex in a Porsche.

Amusing, but come on. It's beyond careless to think you're swiping the power off slider at the top of the screen but to actually swipe the Emergency call button which is HALFWAY DOWN THE FUCKING SCREEN.

You either don't use an iPhone or you're an idiot. What, Tim should come out and hold your hand to make sure you don't swipe the wrong thing?
