Lonavla, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, is a popular place for pedestrians, but before July 11, 2022, the hiking route had at least seven accidents this year. The seventh is the protagonist of this article, Smith Smit Metha, who falls into a valley about 130ft on foot.

CTOnews.com learned that in an interview with local media Times of India, Mehta said he did not know where his two companions were and broke their ankles during the fall, and that his iPhone 13 happened to be in the hands of his companions.

Fortunately, after falling to the bottom, he found that the Apple Watch Series 7 he was wearing still had a signal, so he immediately called his parents and friends. The crash occurred at around 3 p.m. local time, and emergency departments successfully rescued it two hours after receiving a message for help.

The incident took place in July, when he wrote to Apple CEO Tim Tim Cook during his recovery to express his gratitude to Apple. "my Apple Watch saved my life and enabled me to make those important calls for help," he wrote.

Cook then replied:

I'm glad to hear that your body is recovering. It sounds like a terrible accident. Thank you very much for sharing this story with us. I hope you can recover as soon as possible.
