Config AppleWatch to not dial 911 during "Fall Detection"?
I do not want "Fall Detection" to dial 911 if I were walking, fall, and all I need to do is rest. I've been running on trails, stumbled and fell to the ground. I sat there and resting. I talked with people. But, I was not able to convince them not to call for help. Even though I lost an eyebrow and broke a hand, I talked to EMTs telling them to leave me alone, but they sort of forced me in the ambulance (I guess for financial reasons). If you've ever watched MMA, eyebrow cuts are fountains of blood. Unbelievable. I was too weak / exhausted to physically resist them that far from a parking lot. EMTs are so expensive. Making it home and dealing with injuries on your own terms, on the following days, can save 80% of the cost of using EMTs. fact.
Solution 1:
Source:
Fall detection on your Apple Watch Series 4 is off by default unless you are age 65 or older. There's no way to get Fall Detection to do what you want, it's not configurable that way. I think your only option is to turn it off.
From Apple's Support document:
If you've entered your age when you set up your Apple Watch or in the Health app and you're age 65 and over, this feature automatically turns on.
If, for any reason, you decide that you don't want Fall Detection on, you can disable it in the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Launch the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap the My Watch tab at the bottom left.
- Tap Emergency SOS.
- Scroll down and turn off Fall Detection. The switch is to the left when it's off.
