Fall Detection
Another proven life-saving feature, last year’s Apple Watch Series 4 introduced the ability to not only detect hard falls, but notify your family members and actually call 911 on your behalf if you’re knocked out. In a recent report, this actually had paramedics arriving to rescue one man and take him to the hospital before he had even regained consciousness, and that’s only one of many.
It’s not just a feature for the elderly or those with serious medical conditions either. Anybody with an active lifestyle can benefit from it, and it’s even helped save people in car accidents. If you’ve been holding out on upgrading your Apple Watch, this is another important safety feature you’re not benefitting from.
