Apple has saved another life, although this time it was the iPhone, not the Apple Watch, that pulled off the feat.
), Blakey was snowboarding all by himself 10,000 feet up a Swiss Mountain when all of a sudden, a hidden gap in the ice sent him falling 15 feet. He landed on a snow bridge that was described as"fragile" and would have fallen further to his death had it not been there to stop his fall.
Remember this because it could save your life one day. Press the iPhone side button and any one of the two volume rockers until you see the Emergency SOS Slider. Drag the Emergency SOS slider to call emergency services. If you continue to hold down the side button and volume button instead, an alert sounds and a countdown timer starts. Continue to hold down the buttons until the timer comes to an end and emergency services will be called.
On Instagram, Blakey remembered to thank the Swiss Rescue team that saved him after he activated the iPhone Emergency Services. He also thankedfor its"side button 5 click to emergency services." It took about 20 minutes for Blakey to reach someone on the phone, and once he was connected to someone, they advised him not to move. Some 45 minutes later he was freed suffering a ligament injury to his ankle.
