iPhone SOS via Satellite Saved Me After a Solo Mountain Bike Crash

A Denver-area lawyer and avid mountain biker crashed alone on Boreas Pass, suffering a deep leg wound and heavy bleeding. With no cell service, she activated Emergency SOS on her iPhone and, after multiple satellite fixes, texted Park County 911 for help. An ambulance arrived, she endured 40 stitches and months of recovery, and she credits the satellite SOS feature and first responders for saving her life, while vowing to wear knee pads next time.
