ID for Riding

When I was in the Army, we wore two dog tags. It was my understanding that
if someone died in combat, they would collect one dog tag for the records,
and leave one with the body for identification. See if you can mae a joke
out of that!

Isn't that what he just did, or at least attempted?

A label stuck inside the helmet costs practically nothing, and doesn't
irritate your wrist.


I'll post another vote for Road ID. You can hang it on your seatpost or
just about anywhere else on your bike because it has a velcro strip.
You don't have to wear it if you don't want to, though I usually do.

I suspect if you're unconcious, no emergency crew is going to take your
helmet off until after you've gotten to the emergency room and your
C-spine x-ray is cleared.

A lot of people with medical problems wear medical ID bracelets, so
that if they're unconscious, emergency crews will know about their
diabetes, allergies, or whatever. I think that checking for a bracelet
is SOP for emergency responders. You could put all kinds of info on a
Road ID, including DL#, phone numbers, and medical info as well. Road
ID allows (I think) four lines of info. You can even include a link
(extra charge) where you can send the responders for more current and
complete info.
Maybe I'll ask for one of those for Father's Day...

I carry a wrist, road I.D. and it makes me feel much more
comfortable knowing that it's one of the first places
a medic is looking to either take a pulse of hook-up up an I.V. It
can't be missed. Name, address, emergency contact, allergies, blood
type, are all on there; everything they need to know to begin
assistance immediately.
And the helmet I.D. doesn't work in the real world of the
medic. When the helmet finally does get taken off (after X-rays, CAT
scan, etc, it's tossed and no one looks inside.
