Incident detection sensitivity

I know this was discussed in a previous thread, with 3.40. It was intermixed with some other issues and I am wondering, generally, if we cannot help ourselves (and Garmin) to try and list out problems in separate threads, so that they can identify how big the problem is, if there is one

So, having moved to 3.50 having never had incident detection fire off previously.....I had it twice on a 60k ride today. Nearly soiled myself as I wondered what the *** the noise was, as I had to slow quickly from about 20mph to 5mph (no lockups, just slowed reasonably fast). 3.20 definitely was not that sensitive for detection, and I am wondering if there is a setting that can be tweaked (a new UI for high/med/low sensitivity ?). I really don't want to turn it off, like the other threads have indicated...as it is a useful feature - just not if it goes off for braking a little more exuberantly. Anyone else had this trigger moreso now ?

That would be awesome. It would at least get rid of one annoyance. And if I start riding/running again it could cancel the alert on its own.

It look like I am on lucky side but also I give up on thin road tires,

nomore loosing my kidneys with 25mm or thinner tires, I have now tree wheel sets and swapping 32-35 and 38mm tires, also each have a different cassettes.

Agreed - great concept but scares emergency contacts unnecessarily - I’m glad Garmin don’t make airbags!!!!!!

a great idea very poorly executed. Mine goes off when I stop at junctions, only on rim brakes too. You'd think it'd reset if you set off cycling again or at least be adjustable in sensitivity. Think I'll return my Garmin 530 while I can. only had it a couple of days and its already doing my head in.
