Why does the fall detector NOT work on an Apple Watch?

bought SE second generation in November 2023. Have had three falls--two of them hard falls since November 2024. No alerts! Fortunately able to get up and walk away. This is second watch--both of which I bought for "fall detection." Is this happening to other customers with an SE second generation? If so, quality control?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 11

It was likely never set up correctly.
