The Apple Watch has become a device that saves lives, saving distances. Many have been the people who, through the Apple Watch, have discovered that suffered from some type of heart-related abnormality. There are also many people who have seen how the Apple Watch has saved their lives by automatically calling XNUMX.
The fall detector that came from the hand of the Apple Watch Series 4, and that is activated natively in all those people over 65 years old (we can also activate it manually for other users) is the protagonist of this news . Thanks to the fall detector of the Apple Watch, a 92-year-old farmer has saved his life.
A retired farmer from Nebraska, Jim Salsman, 92, was fell from a height of 6,4 meters, when he was on a ladder to secure a pigeon grain deposit (we all know that older people do not stand still regardless of how old they are). When he was about to reach the reservoir, a gust of wind pushed him and caused him to fall from a height of more than 6 feet.
Salsman did not lose consciousness but claimed to be in great pain and barely move The farmer knew about this function but did not know how it worked. He activated Siri through the command "Hey Siri" saying "badly injured on the farm" and automatically called the emergency services.
When the Grant Volunteer Fire Department received the communication, these had already been informed of the fall and had the exact location where Salsman was badly injured. The farmer who suffered a broken hip and other injuries, recovering at Madonna's Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, claimed that if it weren't for the Apple Watch he would not have been so lucky.
