Minimum force to trigger crash detection?

Is there a specific minimum impact force that is required to trigger the new crash detection feature? All information I’m seeing just says if iPhone detects a “severe crash”, it’ll try to call emergency services. I wasn’t sure if that was solely based on impact location (side impact, rear-ending, etc), or if it also required a minimum speed. For instance, would a 20mph side-impact accident trigger this crash detection?

Post-Accident: can I obtain the data used to detect/alert of the wreck? Dealing with concussion - wondering the g-force and such A little over two weeks ago iPhone 14 alerted that it could tell there'd been an accident. Sure enough, car had hydroplaned then did some 360s - on the interstate! There's a lot of memory loss and moderate concussion... but the phone might be able to fill in the blanks. Phone settings would've shared that with apple (not set to private). Any ideas if and how this could be obtained? Could be helpful, at least validating!
