Pavel Jelic If you own an Apple Watch Series 4 and later, you probably know that this Apple watch has a function that can detect a fall. Apple watch users think this feature is enabled by default for all users.

From time to time, a report appears on the Internet that the Apple Watch was able to save a life with the help of fall detection or heart monitoring functions. Personally, I have had fall detection active on my Apple Watch since I got it. I managed to "falsely" activate the fall detection several times during sports or during other activities, so recently I thought that I would probably decide to deactivate it. However, I had an unfortunate fall off a ladder a few days ago and I can confirm that the fall detection was activated in that case as well. Fortunately, everything went well and I didn't need to call for help, anyway, this situation was the best personal test of fall detection. With this, I confirmed that the function is really useful, that I will definitely not turn it off in the future, and that the Apple Watch would not leave me stranded in an emergency.
