Fall Detection (alien.top)

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.

I fell once and saw the options come up for “I’m ok” or “call emergency” but they disappeared as I was getting up, does movement tell the watch that you’re ok so it dismisses the fall notification?
