Any Emergency service crew members here?

I'm after an honest opinion of these before I buy 1 please. To give you the background, I cycle, mostly by myself and whilst I do carry a wallet, I usually forget to put my ID in it, and it doesn't carry next of kin etc, or how to contact them, (mine are 140 miles away).

Would crews that turn up to an accident find the wrist bands useful for a causality?

All thoughts would be greatly received.

Can't help, but the link doesn't seem right...

Please corre4ct me if I'm wrong, but do you carry a phone, if so and it hasn't got a screen lock save next of kin contact number under ICE and this is the number that will be used to contact next of kin.

Cheers, the link was wrong, now corrected.

Yes I carry a phone, but its usually buried deep in a rucksak or frame bag, it also doesn't help if its smashed to bits.

Just a point, you can add 'ICE' info to your phone wallpaper, which on most phones will still be displayed even If the phone is locked.

OP - you mention wristbands, but you could have anything. You could laminate or order some kind of ICE card and stick it in your wallet or attach it to your bike or inside your helmet - you could even wear dog tags if you are that concerned. Either way, it would have to be obvious to someone who might be searching your body or belongings.

doesn't yr wallet permanently carry yr photo ID driving license though ?

You could stick one of these on your frame, or your helmet...

Had to laugh, a few years ago I was doing some first aid training, I was the injured person on the floor. Trainer was talking to the rest about what he is checking for. Mentioned about wrist bands for ICE or being allergic to anything.

I pointed out the one in wearing for being allergic to penicillin...his reply? 'Oh yeah, didn't notice that'.
