I agree that the “It looks like you’ve…” informal-chatty style is terrible. It’s hilarious that they describe it as “straightforward and direct”. It should rather be something short and clear like “Hard fall detected.”

"Hard fall detected" would be fine if you're developing a product where precision and accuracy matters most such as in the military or in some high stake business situations.
But the Apple Watch is worn by consumers so "It looks like you've" is way better.
