That will only work if you basically ignore the sensor while its speed
is changing.

There is no way for an accelerometer to tell the difference between
gravity and other forms of acceleration. In freefall all the internal
bits of the sensor will have the same acceleration, so it won't detect
gravity (it's more or less a very tiny pendulum). Unfortunately the
rather high acceleration at the bottom tends to be troublesome.

Perhaps you need to add something like a gyroscope?
