This new Apple campaign is interesting.

- Hope they can use it to find out why the door fell off
  
  Well, the door fell off in this case by all means, but that’s very unusual.
  
  IT checking in: it’s usually a loose connection.
- This is a great synopsis.

I'm curious if the collision detection activated
- The fall detection on my Apple Watch is so rubbish. It’s gone off twice; both times when I’ve been playing with my dog, and remained upright on two legs.
  On the other hand I have fallen so many times. Fell off my bicycle a couple of winters back, got a massive bruise that took like six months to fully heal. Slipped on some ice and tumbled down a cliff. Slipped on a patch of ice and slid down a hill, completely ruining one pair of trousers.
  There’s countless other smaller falls in there, like one literally last Thursday where I hit my head and got a nasty headache for the rest of the day.
  None of these occasions ever triggered the fall detection.
  
  I'm really surprised at how many times you've fallen down. I can't remember the last time I fell down. Probably before the apple watch even existed.
  Needless to say, it sounds like you have a much more active life than me.
  
  If you get up right after you fall it won’t activate. And it’s usually set to only activate during workouts if you’re under a certain age, I think 50.
  It’s activated for me crashing a bike when I just lay there for a second, but doesn’t activate if I pop back up after a fall.
  
  I crashed my motorcycle on a trail in Utah near Moab last June. My A-watch notified my spouse in Texas when I didn't get up after the fall.
