I just wanted to share my personal experience and ask for feedback. I have owned an AppleWatch for years now and love it. One feature that I’ve always appreciated is the fall detection. I’ve had a few instances where I’ve clapped hard or done something else benign and it prompts the question if I’ve fallen and if I am alright. Well, Sunday morning I fell down an entire flight of stairs and nothing. Luckily my son was present and helped me call 911 on my phone. Has anyone experienced this? I’m disappointed that in an actual emergency situation it didn’t help at all.
You need to make sure you only fall these ways next time.
Ditto here. Thought it was just me. Had lots of false fall alarms over the years, but never an alarm with a real fall. My one big fall with no injury that did require a 911 call was a very slow gentle fall. I thought because it was a gentle fall the alarm did not trip. I did however really need and used the ability to call emergency from my watch as I could not get to my phone(s).
