I.C.E (incase of emergency)

just ordered my Tags yesterday, as I was informed that phones / cards / purses / wallets can either be thrown from bike or person and can burn - nice cheery thoughts eh folks? Hence I ordered metal tags, in the hope that they never get used - please all stay shiny side up

I guess it is habit that I have always carried a donor card. I know about the new fangled register and am registered on that as well. But to me it is simple. If I am in a bad way get me to hospital ASAP so if things go tits up. At least I can be harvested whilst still fresh.

And please nobody say, "but they might not treat you because they want your bits."

Edit: all that said what actually is the point of ICE. When I crashed I was well enough to ring my mum myself and get her to stay with the bike. If I'm unconcious/dead I wouldn't be sooo (well I would) bothered about the bike and in that scenario what can they do to help? Once I'm dead the ambulance/coppers can check it out properly for the deathogram lark so it's not like my family'd never know

No, but it does save the hospital staff/police fron doing all the work!

+2...but if it was Dan, I'd want to be informed sooner rather than later.

So if you get any friction or heat....the tags will burn the details into your skin making them double useful ...lol

My bike is registered to my home address. Not that difficult for a cop to find out my details.

Good point, well made

Plus I carry my ID all the time so, meh, I don't need anything else...

Wouldn't have thought it was more than a 10 second check

Edit: just seen mbk's post.

Like I said, I carry my ID with me at all times. I have 2 forms of picture ID and bank cards. Think it would be rather easy to work out my full name.
