Good Samaritan dad dialed emergency services and used an app to direct medics — here’s what happened.
A dad saved the life of a farmer who was nearly crushed to death by half a ton of hay in a serious outdoor mishap — by using an app to guide an emergency medical team to the rural location.
What3words Limited, based in London, owns the app. The system encodes geographic coordinates into three permanently fixed dictionary words.Once Moss told the emergency call handlers the words “dads,” “scorched” and “hairstyle,” medics were able to pinpoint where he was to within a three meter-square radius.
He added, “I ran through the woodland in my flip-flops … [I] could hear, ‘Help me!’ as I got closer. A male voice was screaming, ‘Help me!'” So he asked the man “if he was losing blood, how the pain was. I was trying to get it for the 999 call. He told me to grab the phone for 999.”
