    Fall Detection is a feature that automatically sends notifications to emergency contacts the moment it detects a hard fall. After a minute has passed and the contact doesn’t dismiss the alert, emergency services is activated and notified of the wearer’s last location and time of fall.

    The moment Bob fell, the Apple Watch was triggered and he was found without delay. Bob was then taken to the hospital, and after CT scan and X-Rays showed he was okay, Gabe posted on Facebook to encourage others to set up their Watch’s Fall Detection feature.
