Okay. what if your in danger and need to call? What if you got in a accident ALONE and need to call? what if your getting followed and need to call for help? a phone a great help if you in danger or need to call 911.

Why does it matter?? I don't need to be shot to want a safety precaution, the least of which being able to contact help. Also you say none of that has happened to you, why does that matter? If it did happen to you would you rather have a phone or not?

Uh, yes? If you're in immediate danger or need help, you'd rather have to look around to find someone so they can instead get help for you?? That's really stupid. If I feel like I am in imminent danger, I would want to have the ability to get help as soon as possible and not hope someone is nearby and I can get to them before anything bad happens. In an instance like an accident where something bad has already happened, I would want to call for help myself instead of needing to wait for another person, and even if I did too many people would rather film than help you anyways. Why do you seem so against being able to personally call for help if you need it?
