not exactly the same, but i've got an ICE tag on my bike key's with emergency contact details on.. Cost about £4 from amazon including engraving and delivery. Not sure what good it would actually do if i binned the bike but for £4 it wont do any harm!

Had one in an outside pocket on my wallet in full view when I had my head on car crash and they didn't even look at it.

Mate had his blood group on a tattoo and they still checked before giving him blood as it "could" be wrong.

Trouble with that is it might encourage noobs to take peoples helmets off to see if there's a sticker there.

Stinkwheel started a similar ish thread not long ago.

I'd suspect that with the way medical histories are held as the sort of be all and end all documents in these situations that for someone of importance to take note (and more importantly be sure that they wouldn't get sued if they acted upon information on the card) then it would have to be some form of legal document - ie standardised with all important questions (not just what the rider thinks may be relevant) answered and also be signed by the rider (with possibly even photograph there too to be sure they are who they report to be - as you can hardly ask if they are unconscious).

Basically it ain't worth shit, and will count for F.A. in court if a paramedic acted on it's info (and someone came a cropper) unless it's a legal document.

My OH has one of those tags with the usb connection, but someone said in an earlier topic that they are not allowed to be used in NHS computers. He doesn't bother carrying it with him now Rolling Eyes

I don't think paramedics/doctors would really change the way they treat you because of information you are carrying. So from a medical/safety point of view I think they are a waste of time.

I wear dog tags with emergency contact details for just in case I end up dead or in a serious condition. It gives piece of mind to my family in that they know they will be contacted if something goes wrong. I don't want to come home to a dad that has spent most of the day trying to find out if I was dead or alive again.

They were harping on about these at the Meltdown. I was chatting to the guy and he kinda admitted that it was more about opening people's minds, as in , 'oh this thing is in case I crash, maybe there is a chance I'll crash, I shouldn't ride like a dick'

They also had 2 dvds, a free high vis sticker set, and a crash kit (high vis vest and foil blanket) and were kind enough to let me sit on their weird front two wheeled trike thing which they had all marked up. I love free stuff. Even wore the high vis vest on the way home (thought it might help if we happened to get pulled over for silly antics)

There was also a Fire Brigade cbr thou, which we may have taken the piss out of loudly asking where the water was to be condescendingly told that we shouldn't expect a bike to turn up to a fire. Thumbs Down

Fuck you Mr fireman who can't take a joke.
