Why IoT
This has no need whatsoever for a connection anywhere. A simple built in buzzer would do perfectly well.
The French have updated their classic two-piece swimsuit with a networked version which will inform its wearers when they need to apply sunscreen. The connected bikini (en français, bikini connecté) contains a removable and (wisely) waterproof UV sensor which will measure when its wearers may need to lather themselves in …

"Unless it is sized to fit a Kardashian "Imperial Drednought" displacement a**e of course."
The video gave me a reality check. I had almost forgotten that young women could be slim without being the media image"heroin-chic". My daily walk reveals a preponderance of the new "extended" size in both sexes.

If you're already exposed to strong UV, it's usually too late to start applying sun cream as that takes a few minutes to be effective. A dog-tag worn round the neck or attached to the shoulder straps, similar to a radiation detector, probably makes more sense as it measures the actual UV exposure rather than the intensity probably makes more sense.
Still, full marks for suggesting that the software was developed by women (I've no idea whether it was or not and I'm not suggesting it wasn't).
Yes it is old chap.
Twas named after Bikini Atol in the mid 40s and I think it was 'invented' by a French engineer called Louis Réard who had a bit too much time on his hand and access to bohemian crumpet as models. Bikini Atoll was 'a la mode' at the time due to French testing of nuclear bombs.
Now the Italians invented the tank with rear view mirrors so that they could see the enemy in 'front ' of them. It had 1 speed forward and 6 reverse I seem to recall .
Your post appears to say that the French were testing nuclear bombs at Bikini Atoll in the mid-40s. I think they were actually otherwise engaged at the time.
The "joke" about Italian tanks is pretty tired, though to be fair to the Italians I was once at a motorcycle show with an Italian colleague, and as we looked at the MV Agusta 500 he remarked "You know people make jokes about the Italian Army, but we certainly do make the world's best getaway vehicles."

One thing bothers me about your (current) case, though: in order to qualify as witnesses, wouldn't those same people have had to spend as much time, in the same location as you, doing approximately the same amount of "witnessing" as you are alleged to have done? That would be creepy, no? Just askin', like.
"surely a seismograph will suffice for that"
This is what gets me about the whole thing.
If there had been no earthquake, would there have been no prosecution?
What if the local god had actually thought "Nice pair of boobs, for that I'll downgrade this one from a 7 to a 5.3"?
Having seen what happpened in Italy, with seismologists locked up for the crime of working in an imperfect science, I do wonder whether the truth of this is that people go apeshit irrational over earthquakes and the foreigners would have been in trouble no matter what they had done, simply because the credibility of the local headman depends on somebody having done something to cause the wrath of the God, otherwise it looks like it's all a bit random and his conduit to the deity looks a bit useless.
They were all a little bit silly but I think that the major mistake of the unfortunate young aeronautical engineer was of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Needs gps with a warning"
That could have saved some mountain climbers a bit of trouble caused by their overexposure.
