Crash detection is one of those features you forget about having on your watch or phone, but it makes a huge impact when it's needed.

Assuming she bothers to wear the damn thing. My grandmother on my father's side once had a fall incident that led to a hospitalization, so the family chipped in to buy her an Apple Watch because it has fall detection. But she's too embarrassed to wear it, so it lives permanently on her nightstand, even though so many of us have smart watches of our own.

If it makes you feel any better my mom basically does the same thing unless she’s visiting.
