Summary at a Glance

The Apple Watch helped save the lives of injured skiers in Washington after falling approximately 1,000 feet down a mountain, thanks to an SOS alert.

On Wednesday, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office in Washington were informed of an Apple Watch SOS alert.

The Apple Watch has a habit of being praised for repeatedly getting assistance to injured parties following an accident.

Crash Detection automatically called emergency services, with an operator using the Apple Watch to communicate to the man throughout the incident.

In video footage released of the rescue, infrared vision was used to locate a group of skiers, with the helicopter then lowering a rescuer to the ground.
