Why are options so limited with Apple Watch fall detection?

Fall detection sometimes triggers when I'm chopping wood with the Apple Watch on, but also has when I fall but catch myself. The software seems to presume a fall and so a dialog on my watch appears. "It looks like you've taken a hard fall". The only options are SOS Emergency SOS. Or, "I fell but I'm ok" is what appears to be the only other option. I click the crown to dismiss the dialog when I've not fallen. Am I missing something? Or, are there other selectable options because the first two seem so limited.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
