@Elleaster What if it deploys while I'm rapidly answering the phone because it's the plumber calling to tell me he won't make the 2pm appointment we had?

@Elleaster Been done! There was an iPhone case many years ago with an accelerometer and airbags; if it detected a fall it'd puff out airbags at the ends to cusion the landing. It didn't do well. I suspect there were false positives, like if yihtrip with the phone in your pocket.
