Not on the ski slopes, apparently. The article says so far out of all these "ghost calls" auto-dials to 911 they got from an Apple Watch coming from the ski slopes, all of them have been accidental. It got so bad the manager had to tell his 911 operators to not worrying about calling back these numbers if it's from an Apple Watch & coming from the slopes, so that they could better focus on other real emergency calls.
