I use My Tracks all the time, not just for biking, but cycling, country walks etc. It's great. Be aware though that it records maximum speed, so don't let the rozzers see it .....
I've also tried CRADAR, which covers the falling off bit. Instead of ringing the ambulance service it texts a number you choose (the wife ? :eek ) and tells them you've fallen off giving a location on Google maps. Has a similar 60 second 'cooling off' period where you can override before it transmits.
It also uses the phone's 'accelerometer' to detect a crash. I've tested it once so far, and it went off on a false alarm before I'd left the garage. Might require some fine tuning ......
