Side note: drivers who lie about how accidents happen (and not just having a fuzzy memory, but flat-out lying), should face severe consequences.

Lives are ruined by bad drivers, and then to falsely blame the victim is just evil.

    I’d check with Garmin on that - something doesn’t sound right. Fortunately I’ve never had a situation to truly test it, but I can’t imagine my Garmin deleting the activity.

    A friend of mine crashed during a group ride a few weeks ago, and I stopped his Garmin manually later. But I don’t know if he had the crash detection and alert set up; it would have triggered long before any of us thought of it. I don’t recall hearing his phone’s alarm sound that mine makes when I trigger it, so he probably doesn’t have it set up.

      To be honest after a few too many false positives I have disabled the “feature” entirely anyway so it isn’t an issue for me any longer and with the way garmin has gone recently I want to move away from that ecosystem entirely, my watch is just still perfectly fine and I don’t want to waste money on stuff I don’t need xD
