Why is my Apple Watch not detecting my falls?

I see a few posts about fall detection not working, and I just wanted to put some insight about what I’ve noticed…I have an Apple Watch 9, and have fallen 4-5 times with no alert or recognition from the watch, yet had 3 false alerts. So my conclusion is this: the fall detection is only for people who suffer cardiovascular changes that lead to a fall and or flail a lot while falling. I do not have a change in pulse or BP when I suddenly drop, nor do I flail or have any other dramatic body movements. I simply lose sensation and control in my left leg and drop to the ground. Sometimes I get a little inkling and can land on my butt, most times I go forward and catch myself with my arms/hands to avoid head trauma (luckily, so far). My falls occur because I experience neuropathy in my leg and issues in my hip so I hurt constantly and sometimes my whole left leg just goes weak/numb/dead like a log mid-step and then it’s like a jelly leg and I go down. So if I were to hit my head I’m screwed.

The times I have had false alarms were things like when I used a french fry cutter (a box with a blade atop you push the potato down through) and the potato shifted to be crooked so I pounded down with my watch hand to force it through…lots of swinging my arm HARD a range of 6-12” and striking the pusher like a hammer against the countertop…yet nothing when I tap something/shake something or just swing my arm, had to be forceful pounding. I think another time was when I was playing tug of war with a french bulldog that is very strong and does lots of yanking.

I know it’s limited to wrist movements and can’t be too sensitive, but I feel like abrupt elevation changes should be readable and at least trigger the watch to ask. It shouldn’t be reading activity at a normal height as possible falls yet ignore my arm suddenly changing from chest height to on the floor or ground. Apple developers need to work on it detecting a sudden 24-36”+ change in wrist height as a trigger for fall detection and I can’t believe in 9 iterations this has not been accomplished. I’d rather it mistakenly be triggered if I suddenly bend to pick something up off the ground (which I can’t really do but still) than to never react when I’m down on my face or butt feeling a little disoriented and can’t get up for 3-5 minutes.
