HIGHLANDS, N.J.-- Two hikers in New Jersey have an Apple Watch to thank for saving their lives after a terrifying fall.
James Prudenciano says he was with a date hiking in Highlands when they ended up falling off the ledge of a cliff.
After tumbling nearly 100 feet, Prudenciano's Apple Watch called 911.
Prudenciano says the fall apparently triggered the watch's hard-fall detection feature and sent his GPS coordinates to 911.
Rescue teams were then able to pinpoint the couple's location and rescue them.
"It actually, when I was ready to fall off the thing, it automatically called 911. I had no idea how it knew I was about to fall. I have no idea how it knew I was in that situation, but I was immobile," Prudenciano said.
Prudenciano suffered injuries to his foot and hand. And his date also suffered some minor injuries.
