The infamous iPhone Crash Detection feature spurred false 911 calls during the Bonnaroo Music Festival this weekend in Manchester, Tennessee.

, Coffee County registered five times the amount of 911 calls than average due to people dancing at the music festival.

Luckily enough, the director stated the false calls didn’t impact first responders’ ability to respond to real emergencies. “Our employees really stepped up, as first responders always do really step up in the line of duty, and they did,” LeDuc said. “And we didn’t have any situation where we couldn’t help someone because of the amount of calls.”
