    I know we don't like to think about it but accidents can happen to anyone. Personally I ride alone alot and have often wondered if there was an effective and easilly accessible method for carrying Emergency Medical/Contact information around with me when on the bike. Having a bit of a trawl around on the net last night and came across the following:

    Looks like a pretty good idea so ordered some.

    Just thought it might be of interest to a few others out there.

    Hi Gary

    Have you ever come across the Crash card - it's recognised by paramedics. It's just a card you pop inside your helmet lining and you put a green dot on the helmet so paramedics etc know your details are there. They are often given out at bike shows etc.

    I know what you mean I often ride alone and for that reason have a wallet in my inside pocket with my driving licence and details, it's always there just in case.

    I had thought of 'inside the helmet' cards. However, paramedics are reluctant to remove the helmet immediately so thought having the information on the outside of the helmet a good idea.

    I also try to remember to carry my wallet with me, but as I get older I become more absent minded.

    Looks like a good idea if you can't have certain medication or have a condition.

    I've seen a few guys with their blood group printed on their helmet and I even have a mate with it tattooed on his arm.
    This is a complete waste of time as no medic will risk putting the wrong blood type into somebody based on 2nd hand info.
    If it's essential they always use O negative.

    Ah! But what if your details change...buy new tags? Simpler, and cheaper, to logon and alter them on line

    These are a fraction of the cost and so affordable you can keep buying them......

    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.
