Happened to my son while skiing. He didn’t even crash. He skied (aggressively) from a slope onto a flat traverse and his phone started going nuts. 911 called him and asked if he was in an accident, or was being held against his will. He turned off crash detection on the next lift ride.

Do you ever think it’s crazy that you have a son?

I’ve had him for a while now, so it’s sunk in at this point. I will say though that it is SO MUCH FUN! We ski together around 30 days per season, and I’m one of his mountain bike coaches (he races XC and Enduro) so we mountain bike around 100 days per year. Having kids that are cool is rad.

"Do you ever think it's crazy that you have a son?" Is this exchange AI generated?

Skiing is mostly weekends, but we hit the bike trails on weekday evenings during summer.

Seems like a good way to handle this would be to only trigger if it goes from violent motion to nearly totally still.

If you're still moving, figure that you're fine. That would get rid of roller coasters, as after all that violent motion, you get up and walk way from it. Similarly with skiing. You reach the bottom and glide to a halt, then begin walking around.
