You're thinking of "Sie" formal?

#

So that only works if you are talking directly to someone, not to someone else about them

#

du/Sie are both "you"

#

You're not telling her "You fell from your bike"

#

You're telling someone else "She fell from her bike."

#

Another clue, a little less obvious:

If it were the formal you "Sie", the possessive pronoun would also be capitalized

#

Sie sind von Ihrem Fahrrad gefallen! Warum haben Sie das nur getan?

#

Also, the whole usage of the name: if I told you, "LK fell from your bike"

Well, that doesn't make sense.
