Fall Detection and Water Lock

I wear my series 4 watch in the shower in case I fall. If I turn on Water Lock will Fall Detection still work? Will it call SOS if the Water Lock feature is on?

Does fall detection work when in Sleep mode, Water Lock or Schooltime? It was the middle of the night when I fell when going to get water. My apple watch was locked in the sleep mode thing with the Digital Crown rotation to unlock. Well, fall detection didn’t do anything. I was fine, but I kept still to see if anything will happen. And nothing happened. Does fall detection detect falls when in all these lock modes such as Sleep mode, Water lock and Schooltime?
