Road ID - must have
IMHO - this is a must have for all sailplane pilots...especially for contest and ridge pilots usually far away from home. Cheap and especially helpful to EMS in critical situations. Interactive model is my choice. Just browse Road ID and become a safer pilot.

Many pilots are in the habit of removing their wallet and storing them in a side pocket.If EMS does not find it you are John Doe.The beauty of the interactive model is it allows all personal specifics (including medical history) to be determined immediately if you are unconscious. Whats wrong with being a safer pilot? |

I learned recently that if you are not carrying state issued photo ID on your person, that you have a much better of being arrested and detained for a misdemeanor like trespassing or jaywalking. If you are taken to the station, they are more likely to hold you until you are properly identified. If you can produce state issued ID, then you're more likely to get a written summons and sent on your way. And if you're randomly stopped for no particular reason and asked to produce ID, you're much better off if you have that little card with you. So I think that this Road ID (not state issued identification wrist band) is inadequate. |

Respectfully, you are overlooking the value of Road ID allowing any EMS personnel to immediately identify you and your medical specifics if you are not able to communicate. The prime objective is to stay alive; if you are lucky enough to survive a catastrophic crash who cares about a misdemeanor fine for improper identify? |

I think that the product that you're promoting is a fine option if it is used in conjunction with a state issued photo ID. I would not rely on it without a photo ID, if I were, say, mountain biking in the woods. who cares about a misdemeanor fine for improper identify? It is not a crime to be without official ID in the USA, but it is a reasonable cause for the police to detain you until you can be ID'd. |

I do believe this discussion is in case you have an accident and are incapable of passing info on to EMT's/1st responders...... NOT police/"officials" in the case of a "traffic stop". Emergency contact info, blood type, allergies are most important at this point. If you're awake & coherent, then you should have access to photo ID to deal with police/"officials".... Pretty much regardless of what country you're in...... Let's keep this thread on track..... Ummm OK?! |

I keep "ICE" info on my cellphone, even though it's locked, people can dial any of my "ICE" contacts and it also has some medical history for me as well. PS, "ICE" = "In Case of Emergency". I know Verizon has it, I would guess other carriers have it as well. |

I wear one. Used to cycle a lot for triathlons (original need) but saw the value in the glider. As with all such things it is hard to see the importance before the "accident" but for $30 it could be highly valuable in any number of potential life (death) situations, not just gliding.

eh, just wear your emergency info + medical info on a (breakaway) lanyard around your neck. make sure it has your blood type and allergies.
