Is it possible to attach a micro: bit board to a rock, and make it count numbers of times it has been thrown up into the air?

I can easily get gestures to work. But what if I were to attach the board on a rock, and make it register how many times the rock has been thrown up into the air - and caught again? I am wondering if it is possible to utilize the accelerometer?

This code works, if I just flip the board, it counts as described.

from microbit import *
score = 0
display.show(str(score))

while True:
if accelerometer.was_gesture('face down'):
    score += 1
    if score < 10:
        display.show(score)
    else: 
        display.scroll(score)
continue
