What if you're not unconscious, but badly concussed or otherwise dazed? You can't count on having a clear and level mind in the aftermath of an unspecified emergency.

If I don't have a clear mind due to being "badly concussed or otherwise dazed", what makes you think my mind would be clear enough to place a call?

Because 911 is relatively simple and has been drilled into people since they were kids? I don't know man, I think being able to dial 911 is a lot simpler than being able to read your location off a map. Trying to find street names on google maps can be hard enough when my brain is working correctly.
