(KIRO 7) – Technology is great when it works as intended, but not so much when it doesn’t. IPhones are apparently calling 911 after detecting their owners being jostled around as if they were in a crash. However, those were no car accidents. Instead, the owners were zooming around on roller coasters, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Sara White was riding Mystic Timbers at Kings Island near Cincinnati when, after the ride was done, she noticed several missed calls and voicemails from an emergency dispatcher asking if she was OK.

White’s phone had car-crash detection that triggered and called 911 in Warren County. The call was recorded and said “The owner of this iPhone was in a severe car crash and is not responding to their phone,” repeating seven times. White discovered the inadvertent call while she was in line for the bumper cars and returned the call to 911, telling them that she was OK, The Wall Street Journal reported.
