It seems that Karoo is uniquely positioned to be able to take advantage of crash sensors like Specialized's ANGi as the Karoo has cellular connectivity and GPS.

Using a service like Twilio send a text message to emergency contacts alerting them of a possible user crash with their last known location.  User would be alerted to a detected crash with a flashing screen and a countdown to alert broadcast.  To abort broadcast user would hold down any one of the non-power hard keys or hold the on-screen button for some period of time.  Holding the key stops but does not reset the countdown.

To help distribute the crash event it would be nice to have a short URL ie. crash.hammerhead.io/123456, for a crash event that could be shared with emergency response teams.  This webpage would show emergency info:

• Name
• Age
• Sex
• Weight
• Height
• Allergies
• Medical Conditions, ie. Asthma
• Emergency Contact Info
• Speed prior to impact
• Map showing:
• - Path and direction of travel in the 30 seconds prior to the crash
• - Crash location
• - Last known location (updated continuously)

  I also would like to see this integrated. As someone who recently moved from Wahoo this is something that’s a must. I expected it was already integrated. Seems Wahoo was more advanced than I thought.

  Hello. Any updates about this?
  Im thinking to buy the karoo 2 but I need this feature, it is mandatory for me and my family. I usually go ride alone and sometimes on new routes. Probably, if I havent crash detection and a good livetracking Ill go for wahoo or garmin.

  And from me as a karoo2 owner. TBH the specialized app is a bit flaky, I'm sure you could do quite a bit better.

  Any incident detection would be welcome. I kind of expected this as its been on Garmin and Wahoo for years now. Cant belive I am going to have to track my ride on my watch just so I can keep my family happy that I am OK.

  Support for any crash sensors like ANGi or Tocsen would be appreciated!
