you can enable fall detection in the Watch app on iPhone:


Settings >> Emergency & SOS >> Fall Detection


i guess you could make sure it works by falling on the ground and not moving for 30-45 seconds, then you’d hear a beeping noise on your watch and a vibration. make sure to press “I’m ok” and “I fell, but I’m ok” so it doesn’t dial sos.
