Why isn't my Apple Watch Series 8 detecting falls despite having fall detection enabled?

I have fallen a couple times now and I bought my Apple Watch to detect this so in case I have an emergency, it would contact my loved ones or even emergency services. I have a medical condition where I could be prone to falling and thought an Apple Watch would be a great Way to get Assistance. Should that happen. However, I have fell twice now once of a ladder for about 10 foot up the other time I missed a step and fell on the ground. Neither time did this watch detect the fall. I have the watch set sweat fall detection is always on, but yet it has not detected a single one yet the only time the fall detector has worked has been when I am working on a car or something and bumped the watch abruptly at the time that I purchased this watch I thought the fall detection would be a handy thing to have for a person that has a medical condition And has susceptible to following however, what I’m finding is a fall detection on this watch is totally useless. Both fall have resulted in minor injuries, thankfully but there again it would have been nice. If this would have detected these falls and I needed assistance. I’m afraid Apple dropped the ball on this feature. My watch is a series 8, which at the time of purchase was the newest thing on the market, I have found it convenient for its health monitoring abilities, but as far as fall detection, it is pretty much so a failure
