The sequence of events when Fall Detection is triggered is not clear from the documentation.

This post assumes that when a fall is detected by the watch, the standard UI ("It looks like you've taken a hard fall...") is shown, and only after this is resolved (user taps an option or times out) is an event sent to the CMFallDetectionDelegate in our app - is that correct?

Is it possible instead to have our delegate be notified of a fall event immediately, and let our app's UI present options for next steps to the user?

I can do that, but primarily I wanted to confirm that my understanding is correct. Can you confirm - it is not possible to be notified of a fall event until the user either responds to the system's UI prompts or times out?

Looking at the CMFallDetectionManager documentation the exact sequence of events is not clear but it does talk about how to subscribe to receive notifications about falls. I'm not in a position to provide details beyond what the documentation provides. I suggest filing an enhancement request about the documentation asking for specific details addressing your question.
