An Ontario, Canada man was saved by his Apple Watch when he fell and hit his head on the way down. The fall rendered him unable to respond to the Apple Watch’s fall detection alert. Because he didn’t respond to the alert, the watch auto-dialed emergency services as well as his wife from a pre-determined emergency list that him and his family had set up beforehand.
Fall detection is a feature available on Apple Watch that can contact emergency services in the event of a bad fall, something an Ontario man learned firsthand on Friday.
When emergency help arrived, he was rushed to the emergency room in an ambulance and given seven stitches. Alexander Laserson thanks Apple for the technology that provided such a swift response to his fall.
“Without the Apple Watch, it is possible I would be dead by now,” Laserson said. “The technology works.”
