Thanks, Marilyn!

This is why I bought a Spyder...

Good idea-- but I question whether the EMT's would know to look for such a device. Most of us wear full gear and the wristband would be under your jacket.

I hope someday soon we will have a national ID medical ID tagging system in place--- preferably an implanted RFID chip like they do for our military.

Maybe along with one of these wristbands, a person could get a sticker for their helmet to alert EMT's of the wristband.

Another good thing to place on your helmet is one of these:

I think you may be wrong here. I think they may look for wrist id's/id necklaces as an example for someone who is diabetic or someone who cannot take certain medications.

I know I used to get brochures from medic alert when my son became diabetic years ago at the age of eleven. And, one of the selling points was that EMT's/emergency responders checked for these id tags.

:agree:

As a former racer, the prospect of someone removing my helmet after an accident scared me silly. I had a friend killed that way in a Top Fuel accident. When I crashed my BMW in 2004, I awoke to find my helmet off. I was petrified, until I discovered I was already fitted with a neck brace and was strapped to a backboard. I don't know if they teach EMTs these things, but they should all know this basic principal, IMO. BTW, the new Arai helmets have quick removal cheekpads, so the helmet can then be removed more safely. Unfortunately, there appears to be no program in place to teach EMTs and hospitals about the feature.

:agree:Even Fire and Police are trained to look for id tags. [and not to remove helmets] And Bystanders should also be taught about not removing helmets.

Yes, EMS personnel are trained to look for medical alert tags, but I can honestly say, they don't always do that in the heat of the moment. They would never take off a helmet of an injured biker unless it was to maintain an airway.

Another thing that people can do and you may not have it on your body at the time of an accident and it may not be the first thing people check but it is getting more popular and being used a lot more is ICE. With so many people carrying a cell phone now days, you should have a contact in there called ICE which stands for In Case of Emergency. You can have contact phone numbers as well as notes that emergency personnel would need to know; such as a medication list, allergies, diabetes, things like this. Emergency personnel are starting to check phones for this information.

ICE is a pretty good idea--- but I would also make sure to NOT lock your phone with a password. They've shown on the iphones that a hacker can crack your password in 6 minutes anyway-- so it really doesn't protect much.

My concern is with the wristband under a decent riding jacket that they may not try to look for it-- at least not until they get you into the hospital.

Will probably order one....

My Road ID came today in the USPS. I like it!! It's comfortable, and quite a well made product.

I got two wrist straps with it. I don't know why. A black on for "formal" wear??? I don't know what I was thinking. I think I will just keep the red wrist strap on until I tire of the bright color on my wrist. Even though it looks easy enough to change the ID plate from strap to strap. I won't be doing that. I'll just leave the one I have on, on all the time. I guess that's the point. It won't do me much good sitting on my bureau if I have taken it off for bed and forgot to put it on in the morning.

The buck off discount is good until the end of this month. If you have considered the Road ID or a product like it, go to the Road ID site and have another look. I think it is well worth the money. It think it's going to give me some peace of mind that I am wearing it when I ryde.

:dontknow:, The Army didn't issue me one of those, WTH I missed out on these. We do have the chips on our ID Cards though...
