Apparently the crash detection feature gets set off on certain roller coasters and it automatically calls 911

The best part is that before they figure it out, they operates could hear the screams of the riders in the background.

I bet that was an adrenaline rush.

Off Topic
We were watching one of those tourism propaganda TV shows, probably one of the "great railroad journeys" or some such, just last week. The presenter visited a vertical drop roller coaster ride at some fun park or other and was suitably freaked out.

Don't know when the show was filmed, but two days after we saw the episode, I heard that an overweight teen had been allowed on the ride and not secured properly due to his girth, slid out, and died. The ride is now going to be demolished.
Has everybody heard about the bird?

Police beat protesting iPhone workers as Covid cases hit record high in China
Officers kick and hit staff at Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou, with Apple warning of iPhone 14 delivery delays

Police in China have dealt out beatings to workers protesting over working conditions and pay at the biggest factory for iPhones, as the country’s Covid-19 cases hit a new daily high.

Videos online showed thousands of people in masks facing rows of police in white protective suits with plastic riot shields. Police kicked and hit a protester with clubs after he grabbed a metal pole that had been used to strike him. People who made the footage said it was filmed at the site.

The protest in Zhengzhou lasted through Wednesday morning as thousands of workers gathered outside dormitories and confronted factory security workers, according to Li.

Other videos showed protesters spraying fire extinguishers toward police.

Foxconn, the biggest contract assembler of smartphones and other electronics, is struggling to fill orders for the iPhone 14 after thousands of employees walked away from the factory in the central city of Zhengzhou last month after complaints about unsafe working conditions.

Protests started on Tuesday after employees who had travelled long distances to take jobs at the factory complained that the company changed the terms of their pay, according to an employee, Li Sanshan.

Li said he quit a catering job when he saw an advertisement promising 25,000 yuan ($3,500) for two months of work. That would be significantly above the average pay for this type of work in the area.

After employees arrived, the company said they had to work two additional months at lower pay to receive the 25,000 yuan, according to Li.


“Foxconn released very tempting recruiting offers, and workers from all parts of the country came, only to find they were being made fools of,” he said.
