Fall detection?

When I tried it, it was a phone app. Not sure if they’ve upgraded to a watch app too.

Well, I know there are various apple things that calls in a crash if the phone falls on the floor board of the car (or off the roof of the car, and heck, who can blame a phone for that).
It is very common for the fire department to be looking all over for a down person or a car in a ditch on one corner near where I live, because the driver’s iPhone fell on the floor board of the car when they went around the corner too fast and they ignored it until they got home, which was well after the 911 call happened and the departments were looking for the person.

That is my only experience with these things, the way too often 911 calls associated with them that always seem to happen at very weird hours (wife of a volunteer fire fighter).

I’ve accidentally activated the emergency calling on my phone when it was in the pocket of swishy-type pants facing screen in.

I like my phone facing that way in case I pick up something heavy that I don’t smash the screen, but I have to be cognizant of pant material type - will it transfer touches, or not.

My kids got me one and it works! But unless you want to carry a phone, it needs its own phone line

ROADId may work. It isn’t a fall detection as much as a non-motion detection.
I used it when the app was free. I don’t trail ride by myself anymore so it wasn’t worth the monthly fee.
If I remember it sounds an alarm after not moving for 4 minutes. You have 60 seconds to clear the alarm. After that it sends a text to your contact that basically says Help I have fallen and can’t get up. It shows your location.
I forgot to end the app after a trail ride once so it alarmed. I was able to clear it before it went to my contact.
Not moving includes untacking and sponging horse. You aren’t moving a big enough range to measure
