ActivBeacon is a iPhone based personal safety beacon. The concept of using an iPhone was simple. It is a descrete device that you always have close to you and inside are many sensors that determine your location and movement.
You can set it up and be protected in three simple steps. Once ActivBeacon is running on your phone you do not need to do anything. ActivBeacon detects if you fall and will send the emergency messages automatically.
Luckily his mate Rob showed up a minute or so after the accident. Toby was in ragged shape, Rob called for emergency services. Toby had shattered his right hand, a deep 5" cut on his shin, punctured his chest and his helmet (Giro) had fractured and saved his brain.

He was lucky. What is if Toby had been on his own?
What if he had been knocked unconscious?
