My wife was t-boned by a drunk driver at 2am. Since I was her emergency contact, Apple crash detection prompted her to call 911 and sent me a text with her location. Thankfully she was still conscious and able to complete the call to emergency services, but if the situation was worse she may not have received the help she needed. Crash detection is awesome, I immediately went out and bought a Series 8 watch the next day.
