Do you know Fall detection on Apple Watch saved two Americans across the country

The Fall Detection feature has saved at least two Americans in the past week.
The first, Michael Broadkorb, from Minnesota, was hit by a car and the driver fled the scene.
His Apple Watch detected the impact using fall detection and dialed 911 and sent messages to loved ones who were able to provide first aid. It turned out that the man had injuries to the sacrum and ribs.
The second, 83-year-old William Fryer, was walking along a trail along a river in Ohio, but at one point his legs gave out and he fell.
There was no one around to help. And at that moment, his Apple Watch detected the fall, called emergency services and alerted his daughter.
Cincinnati police were able to find her husband, and paramedics took him to the hospital.
X-rays showed that he had a large blood clot, which caused the fall. As a result, Fryer had a blood clot removed.
