Which emergency can happen that I really want this? And now don't say suicide attempt. Nearby all emergencies that could happen where someone needs my exact position are things that would additionally lead to a loss of the base connection or a switched off smart phone.

Car accident? Broken leg while hiking? Mugging? Slip and fall on icy sidewalk?
