It's not much different BUT hey, this is a feature, not bug
If you drop it you can get it and press the button "I'm OK" in the next X seconds. If you drop it on the road (and you lost it) - anyway the app will send GPS coordinates to your preferred number...and you can call it and ask him where exactly you lost your phone

Hm, I don't see any accelerometer code in this source, only gps coordinates and sending them by command prompt?. The main idea of this "man down" soft is to start gps fix only when big shock is detected by the accelerometer, then send the sms to predefined number.
