A teenager used an Apple Watch to call for help after a 130-foot fall while hiking and shared his story with Apple's Tim Cook.
I’m so glad you are on the road to recovery. It sounds like a terrible accident. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us.Smit Metha was on a trip with friends on July 11th, which turned out to be a rainy day. All was well until their return. That’s when Metha slipped about 130-150 feet into a valley.
He called his parents and friends with the Apple Watch. But the first responders needed two hours to reach him. Metha’s friends and a few others managed to bring him up with some difficulty. Once he reached the top, he could share his location with his parents, and he finally made it to the hospital. The delay meant his wounds got infected, and he underwent surgery on July 16th. There were additional complications that meant another change of hospitals, which delayed his discharge to August 7th.
