mine went off 3x this morning when I was doing hill sprints on a run. (Sorint 20, stop, walk down hill, repeat) It had never gone off before on this type of run. I have a 945 Forerunner. I was able to cancel first 2 and not 3rd and had to stop eorkout to reassure my emergency contacts that I was fine.
I have an Edge 530 and cancelling incident detection (which is often necessary because it gives lots of false positives) is a real pain. Sometimes the cancel option just disappears and you press buttons in a panic, all to no avail. I'm turning mine off - which really defeats the purpose. Surely it could be cancelled by just pressing any button once say 5 seconds or more after it activates. In an accident buttons won't be pressed accidentally to cancel it. As it stands, it's hopeless.
Hi there! Since the last 2 or 3 firmware updates, my incident detections triggers all the time, I just have to stop in pavement with vibrations and the Garmin start the Incident detection process, And like the other users say, I am also not able to turn it off since the screen does not reply to finger. I have to use my mobile phone to cancel it. This is annoying and I am thinking to turn this feature off since it works so bad, in the past used to work really fine, nowadays if you travel 1h at 30 km/h speed and then you stop at any place it will trigger the incident detection, my friends also found that they have this issue, to prevent they have just turned this thing off.
Another thing that happens is that if the msg is sent you get prompted with a Warning saying the msgs were sent and you will not be able to press the check to close that window and I will not able to see again my Garmin, got stuck in that screen.
When I got home I had to turn the device off and on to try to get rid of that warning, I think I have used the stop button to store the ride.
please help.
Thank you.
