My watch slid off my wrist the other day and fell on the floor. Watch is fine, but the fall detection was not triggered? Why not? How can I test all detection to make sure it’s working?

I can guarantee you that if you have the fall detection on, Apple will most likely detect your hard falls. I don’t think its good to test the fall detection as Apple Watch cannot detect all falls and you may harm yourself. Also Apple knows when your Watch is on and not on the wrist, so that can go into factor that the Fall Detection was not triggered.

It wasn't triggered because the watch knew it wasn't attached to a person.
How can I test Fall Detection on my Apple Watch Series 8?
