Apple Watch Fall Detection Features Save Two Lives
In Minnesota, Apple Watch user Michael Brodkorb was hit by a vehicle that then fled the scene. His Apple Watch detected the impact using Fall Detection and dialed 911 after he was unable to respond. “I was just shocked,” he said. “I mean, just the sheer force of what it’s like to get hit by a vehicle.”
Along with calling 911, the Fall Detection feature alerted his wife and children inside the house, so he was able to get immediate help. He ended up with injuries to his ribs and tailbone. “It absolutely is a life-saving tool,” Brodkorb said. Police did find the driver, a 17-year-old boy, but it is not yet clear if he will be charged.
During his recovery, Brodkorb sent an email to Apple CEO Tim Cook, who wished him a speedy recovery.
In Cincinnati, 83-year-old William Fryer was walking on the Ohio River Trail when his knees gave out. No one was around, but his Apple Watch detected the fall, called emergency services, and alerted his daughter.
Cincinnati police were able to locate him and paramedics transported him to the hospital. X-rays ultimately showed that he had a large blood clot that caused his fall, but the blood clot symptoms had been atypical as they had not been noticed. Fryer had the clot removed, and said that he was grateful his Apple Watch had been able to summon help.
The Fall Detection feature on the Apple Watch can be enabled by opening up the Apple Watch iPhone app, going to Emergency SOS, and toggling on the Fall Detection option. Fall Detection is enabled by default for Apple Watch owners over 55, but younger Apple Watch users can also turn it on.

BIGFOOT FAMILY Lives Alongside East Texas Residents
A woman from east Texas, identified only by her first name Brenda, made some interesting claims about the local Bigfoot during a live presentation of Coast to Coast AM in January 2015.
“We didn’t know what was going on until just a few years ago. At first, we found the house that they were living in. My husband and I didn’t know what it was, and he kind of joked with me about it. At that time we didn’t realize it was a Bigfoot. Since then, our property had a fire, it burned down, so we moved a mile and a half from where we knew they were into another house. Little did we know that we were just coming into a family of them”
So said Brenda, in her radio interview with David Schrader, host of the late-night radio show Coast to Coast. According to her, she and her husband hear the “Bigfoot family” scrape their walls, make weird noises and create other kinds of ape-like nuisance. They, however, are not feared by them a bit. Instead, they even leave buckets of food for their Sasquatch friends!
“They throw rocks on the house, I hear them talking. People thought I was crazy, but I know what I heard. I’ve heard them yell, walking out close to the house, and my husband too. They are all around us and my son put cameras out below his house and he got some on camera, but they’ve never tried to hurt us. I hear them talking, you can’t make out what they are saying, but know it’s their voices.”
She also says that at first there was only Mama Bigfoot and Pappa Bigfoot, but recently, they had a baby! Now they are a blooming, happy family of three Sasquatches living alongside their very own, human house in the middle of town! Brenda has even claimed that another fellow neighbor had seen the Bigfoot trio, but was too scared to talk about it!
