Our technological devices have become an integral part of our lives. From smartphones to computers, from games consoles to smart watches, these devices make our daily lives easier. But sometimes we see these devices saving lives in unexpected ways. In the incident in the US, a user survived the accident using the Xbox Series S.
How the Xbox Series S protected in the accident
A Reddit user recounted how his newly purchased Xbox Series S console saved his life in a cycling accident. The incident happened while he was cycling with the console in his backpack. At an intersection where visibility was limited by bushes, a truck suddenly appeared and hit the user.
The Reddit user said he was able to grab the bumper of the truck, but the driver did not see him and he was hit by the vehicle. His backpack prevented him from hitting the ground first. The impact shattered the backpack and severely damaged the console and controller inside.
Nvidia Rubin GPUs coming sooner than expected!
While Nvidia has yet to release the RTX 50, it has accelerated work on its new Rubin-based GPUs. So what can we expect?
However, this damage saved the user from much more serious injuries. The person, who did not wear a helmet, said that the console absorbed the impact on his head and protected his back from abrasions.
The Xbox owner, who suffered a broken left leg and minor abrasions in the accident, also survived a serious head injury. As evidence of the incident, he shared photos of the damaged but still functioning console.
