Hiker Credits Apple Watch For Saving His Life

Here’s yet another story of the “hard fall” feature on an Apple Watch saving someone’s life!

28-year old James Prudenciano was hiking with his date in Hartshorne Woods Park in New Jersey and got lost in the woods.  The couple fell onto a steep cliff and into a position where there were only rocks and a river below.  The couple slid down the cliff and into the river, sustaining significant injuries.  Prudenciano landed on a rock and suffered 3-fractures in his back.

“I was screaming that I’m going to die because I really felt I was going to die,” James Prudenciano said. “There was no way out of this for me. I literally said my last goodbyes.”

The Apple Watch on his wrist detected a hard fall and called 911.  The couple was then rescued and transported to a local hospital.
