A little over a week ago I fell down hard ceramic tile stairs. I landed really hard on my side, tearing up a lot of soft tissue and pulling a bunch of muscles from my ankle to my thigh to my side and lower back to my elbow. Fortunately didn’t break anything. I then continued to tumble down 5-6 steps and landed on the landing between two floors. Now I know why they call it a landing, lol. Anyway, so I’m lying there in extreme pain screaming (it was after hours on the weekend at my work and nobody came for me) expecting my Apple Watch Series 4 to go off. It never did, even though I have fall detection enabled. Fortunately I was able to get a phone call to my wife after I gathered myself and the adrenaline/dopamine kicked in.
Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. I’ve never landed harder in my life. I fell backwards into the hard ceramic stairs and tumbled down them and no alert to call anyone. I’m recovering still and doing much better back at work this week. I’m more resilient than I thought, lol. Turns out the wet conditions combined with ice melt caused very slippery steps, which have no traction strips or rubber edges. Some other people at work complained about it independently. I am disappointed in this technology. My wife has accidentally set hers off while working out, so maybe mine is broken? It has no damage from the fall.
