Let alone the few seconds it takes to get up from a wipeout. How many of us sometimes just lay there a few seconds to laugh at ourselves or catch our breath. 10s is definitely not enough!

Exactly! Once I fell off my bike because the road was slippery. It was in the city on a regular road with cars driving by so of course the first thing I did after the fall was to get myself and the bike off the road asap and on the sidewalk. Then I noticed the haptic from AW on my wrist and was lucky I managed to cancel the fall detection alert within the time limit. It’s not enough…
