Cell phones are the problem, i think we ought to ban cell phones that have more than 8 contacts because they are dangerous especially in the hands of American Infidels, Ohhh Sorry i went off on the wrong soap box that time, hope you get to feeling better.

I recommend RoadID
Checkout RoadID. When I ride, I often have my wallet in the trunk. So if I get thrown off, I could be parted from my cell phone and wallet info. And I know from personal experience, when stressed out and in pain, even well known phone numbers are impossible for me to get right.

I don't store any of my information in "technology"; it all goes into a notebook!
Along with my prescriptions, my physicians, and my blood glucose logs...

ICE Card
Sorry about your fall. Heal quickly!
I carry and ICE (In Case of Emergency) card in my 1. wallet and 2. on the bike and 3. in my MC jacket pocket.
Along with copies of Insurance card and registration. I also wear a Med Alert bracelet with medications inscribed on the inside of the medallion. Never be without you emergency information. I know from experience in a severe moto accident that the ICE can save your life.

Thanks for reminder. Glad you made it ok, have a bud loads all nessary info on a excell file & keeps on a medical ID labeled thumb drive And keeps a spare with properly instructed family in case of emergency. The often forgotten part is keeping it properly updated, numbers, meds, conditions. Try at-least once a year & hope you never actually need it, just properly prepared.

Ouch!
Hope all turns out well for you. I agree, always good to have contact info backed up.
I wear a MedicAlert dog tag most everyday due to a previous injury, but having info other than your phone or wallet is a great idea
IT IS, WHAT IT IS...

+1 for Road ID

Heal fast! FAST, I say!!
Sorry that happened to you. I hope you feel better soon.
Somebody else mentioned "Road ID". I really feel safer with this doohickey. For some time, I used a necklace type tag, with my name, age and major allergies on it. Now I use a wrist band. It's got the name etc on the front, on the back is info for a website that has my contacts and medical info. I have to do this, because I know if I'm found unconscious somewhere, the first thing that will happen is somebody will want to feed me sulfa drugs and peanuts (my 2 serious allergies).

Thursday morning I got out of my car pool vehicle in front of the office building in downtown Seattle. Somehow my cell phone exited from my pocket without me knowing. When I got to my desk on the 15th floor I realized I didn't have my cell phone. I did a ping for the location of my phone and it showed it was in the area. I went back down to the street and found my phone next to the curb laying in the water from the rain. However, it had been ran over by a vehicle with studded tires. It was toast.
At noon I used my lunch hour to walk down 6 blocks to get me a new phone. It was still raining. (Go figure, it's Seattle). While I was walking down the sidewalk about 2 blocks from my destination I stepped on a large diamond plate metal cover for city utilites. My right foot slip and I landed with all my weight on my left knee. I was on the concrete holding my left knee to my chest in servere pain. People just walked around me. The first person to stop and ask me if I was ok was a homeless man. (unbelievable how "people" don't want to be involved). Short synopsis is that I dislocated my left knee. The paramedics put it back in place when they had to straighten my leg to put me in an air cast splint. ED doc was concern I fractured my patella. Good news is that no fractures. Strained tendons/muscle and dislocation.
Now the moral of the story. My cell phone is toast. I didn't make to AT&T store. I don't know even my wife's cell number. All my contacts to anyone i know is in my phone. I had to log in using the hospital's computer to my AT&T account to find my wife's phone number. My smartphone has made me dumb.
As I type my wife is working on contact numbers, my meds I'm on (I'm an insulin dependant diabetic). I will have this information card in my wallet, another on the Spyder, and each vehicle.

Sounds like a bad day at Black Rock.

Type II Diabetic
My wife had me get a tattoo on my inside lower arm. Medical Staff with the word Diabetic above it. Paramedics don't go through your wallet or pockets looking for cards. Dr. told her about tattoos for medical alerts to rescue and medical people. Week after I got it I was in ER. They all liked the tat.

I've always been interested in getting a "Medic-Alert" tattoo added to my hide...
so that I can show the Missus?
