Apple Watch Series 4 isn’t just a nice looking watch. It also has invisible features that can prove life-saving. Series 4 only hit the market last month and the new Apple Watch fall detection feature is already being credited with coming to the rescue for at least one customer in a dire situation.

According to Swedish publication Aftonbladet, Apple Watch Series 4 was key in notifying emergency services for Gustavo Rodriguez when crippling back pain struck while he was cooking over a stove. The unexpected discomfort caused him to double over and collapse to the floor while the stove was fired up.
