Apple's latest safety feature is accidentally triggering on thrill rides.

If you're riding a roller coaster you may want to turn off Crash Detection

Apple's newest devices all contain a feature designed to save your life. If you're in a serious crash, your new iPhone 14 (fave.co/3SQDJmK) or Apple Watch (fave.co/3NlxG8w) will automatically dial emergency services and send a message to your emergency contacts with your location.

However, Crash Detection might work a little too well. The Wall Street Journal reports (fave.co/3Nkx7vE) that a woman's iPhone 14 Pro called 911 and reported that she had been in a severe car crash while she was riding the Mystic Timbers roller coaster at Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio. According to the Warren County Communications Center, responders were dispatched to the scene after the woman didn't respond-probably because she was having too much fun.
