r/Apple: Unofficial Apple Community

I was cleaning my gutters, had an AirPod in, phone in pocket and Apple Watch (s7) on. Coming down skipped a step and landed on ground in a way that rolled my ankle hard; Heard it grind. The pain was strong and sharp, and no my body reaction to pull back that foot tumbled me to ground.

The foot pain was so bad I rolled on the driveway for what felt like minutes. When I got to a point I could call, I activated Siri by holding the AirPod. I heard the chime and said “call wife’s name”. Siri responded “On it”, then nothing…..

A little while later I searched my pockets and found the phone and was able to call my wife to come help me.

I was in an area of good cell service and likely connected to wifi as the router was just inside the area I fell. There’s no doubt this was simply a bug failure on Siri, as I see this happen occasionally, but this was the first time in a moment of true need.

I don’t really know if there’s a point to this other than that if anyone out there from Apple is listening, please do what you can to reduce this type of thing from happening. That is all. I’m Thankful I’m ok and probably just have a fractured ankle.

Peace
