JAKARTA - Apple's iPhone and Watch users who were in the mosh pit at the Bonnaroo festival this week made several accidental calls to emergency services.
Crash Detection Mode (Disaster Detection Mode), a new feature launched by Apple for iPhone and Watch, automatically notify first respondents if users are involved in a car accident.
On Thursday, June 15, police in Manchester, Tennessee where the event was held told people that "some accidental 911 calls" were made by festival participants.
"The possibility of this call is the result of 'Crash Detection Mode', a new feature on Apple's iPhone," reads a police message on Twitter.
'Please be careful and consider deactivating this feature on your phone until Bonnaroo is complete.'
Twitter's account officially supports the police's statement: "Let's work as a team to solve this!"
Crash Detection Mode is designed to be active when it detects acceleration and sudden deseleration, but in reality this mode captures all types of movements that are not accidents.
