Its not going to works since he fakes all his falls

[@KrzysztofBob]

As seen in this video, it doesn’t work on fake falls. Saying that, I’m pretty sure he perfected his falling skills to the point where you’d need flipping Skynet to detect those.

Thanks! I ordered this (cellular version) specifically because of the fall detection and the heart monitoring. I’m disabled and have a history of falls.

“I hit the ground for a living“ Ugh, an icon.

[@haxhxm841]

Imagine it being triggered when u fall on your bed

[@brennonmitchell7753]

It wouldn’t lol the watch detects the depth of impact relative to acceleration. So a fall on the bed would be too soft for it to work

[@brennonmitchell7753]

jused well good sir that would require talent, not a very common trait amongst us humans😂💀

[@brennonmitchell7753]

jused sounds to me like you have talent

[@plopplop5218]

[@Animagus0dragon]

Great video!👌🏼 I tested it at home by falling into pillows and blankets and it didn’t work, now I know why😂😆

[@luihinwai1]

it probably has something to do with the force of impact and how long you lay still

[@Animagus0dragon]

Tim Lui Yup! Pillows have no impact lol

Just randomly falling over in your house lol

[@yzdenkochanliev3730]

That's probably what Apple wants, people to break their watches and pay half the price for a replacement screen.

That’s not what I meant. Apple doesn’t want people to break their Apple Watches, they put it just so the watch can immediately call 911 in case the damage is severe. But ppl wanna make sure it works so they fall over on purpose
