"Crash Sensor"

[Cadbury]

No affiliation, just found it on a gadgety website earlier today.

Device connects to your phone, and if you crash (presumably ascertained through a G-Force sensor or similar) it can alert a user defined number via text with geolocation information.

Appears to be marketed towards the non engined bicycle crowd, I think it's a pretty neat idea, if you were to run off the road and be lying in a ditch unconscious/ injured this would at least let somebody know where you were.
£88 isnt that expensive, and it's encouraging to see new 'out there' ideas actually come to market.

Thoughts?

Look at the RealRider app if this appeals.

I think I'll keep the cash in my pocket.

Voice activation via a Bluetooth connection to phone works just as well.

Pretty pointless dialling any number other than the emergency services. I doubt they'll do much though if you don't actually speak to them (because you crashed into a tree and are unconscious).

My GPS tracker can do this, it cost less than £80, and also gives GPS tracking if the bike is nicked.

Does it send the message each time you drop your phone?
