        One handed call answering sounds actually useful, but it's also been built into watchOS under accessibility settings for years already (along with one-handed timer dismissing using the same action).

    > calls 911
    Resource theft intensifies.
    I was talking with a 911 dispatcher last weekend and
    > they take 6 monts to 2 years to train
    > "depends"
    > they rotate between call taking, police dispatch, fire dispatch
    > "to keep the workload and monotony even"
    > they get a TON of Apple initiated 911 calls
    > phone slides off seat on hard braking
    > skiing
    > snowboarding
    > "especially skiing and snowboarding, weekends in the winter are hell. somebody falls, skier can't get gloves off (or doesn't notice), watch calls 911, cops have to respond"
    Interesting idea but poorly implemented.

        Not if it costs more lives in increased latency for others.

            Proof? Sounds like increased stress for multiple on the job people JUST to save a single life. I'd argue that it's not a fair trade off.

                Yes. Who is to say hogging all those lines contributed to people dying?
