I have a question and I'm really hoping someone can answer it!
Like most people I hope that a serious accident will not happen to me, but I also know that it could. Levi Leipheimer has teamed up with http://www.roadid.com/ who provide sport based identity tags in case you have a problem. I'm not saying you should sign up, but its certainly the kind of thing that is worth bearing in mind. They do straps for your wrist, angle, dog tags etc.
Now its all well and good having something like this, but its useless if no-one would look for it. So here is my question: does anyone know what paramedics check for (as routine) when they find someone? Do they check wrists, ankles, pockets for id? If its just a matter of having some kind of id in a pocket then I'll do that, but if something more obvious is better then I think its worth considering.
Does anyone know the answer?!
Just get a RoadID:

Ah yes. Your comment made me check the original post, in which I found I had messed up the link. RoadId is exactly what I was referring to.
ReplyDeleteHaving contacted them I found that they have a UK based number for emergency contacting (if you chose that option). As someone with an existing condition and some fairly hefty medication to go with it, I'm signing up.
