It has happened many times that iPhone saved its owner from certain death, for example, by serving as a "bulletproof" vest and thus stopping the shots from the shotgun or a bullet from a pistol. Recently it also happened that in a bus accident saved iPhone 5s men life before being pierced by the rods, as the edge stopped at iPhone, who was then fired, but instead of a hole in the man's stomach, he was left with only a bruise.
The iPhone's latest feat of heroism isn't due to its body, but rather to the features within it. iOS, specifically the assistant SiriAn 18-year-old man in Tennessee was repairing his truck when it fell on him, leaving him trapped under it, his hands pinned to the ground and no way to move or free himself.

He would probably die after a few hours, but as he tried to wriggle out of it, he heard the familiar sound of the activation.
