Road ID Decision Matrix - a helpful guide

FWIW, I have a RoadID dogtag and chain. Mine notes my '94 aortic aneurysm repair (docs/EMT's wonder about that scar) and drug allergies, as well as name, phone numbers, etc. I ride alone a lot and the drivers around here are ape-**** nuts, so I figure at a minimum, they'll know who to inform to pick up the body. Brad - sincerely trying to learn here but how would that information be useful in your treatment for an injury that left you unable to share that information ? *(a concussion or other brain injury) Wouldn't the EMTs be more concerned with your brain injury ? Bike accidents are always brain injuries? Drug allergies are not pertinent? You take an odd line. Instead of saying, "Wouldn't that info be on a card in your wallet?", you say the information is not pertinent in a particular situation. I find that reasoning, for lack of a better word, peculiar. What's your take on those medical ID bracelets that are not marketed to cyclists? If they make sense, then certainly the ones marketed to cyclists make sense as well. You just don't like the idea of wearing something else on your wrist as it would take away from your other bracelets - the LANCE yellow, Colbert red, and Not That There's Anything Wrong With That rainbow.

R Never wore a livestrong bracelet - knew they were the equivalent of the rainbow ones right from the start. Did wear a ForkSTRONG bracelet for a while. |

R RetardJour - why do you make this so easy ? See the root problem is you believe you can mitigate every factor and REMAIN IN CONTROL - well guess what you haven't you can't and you won't. Your chances are luck with or without an ID - there are good EMTs and good ER docs and there are those that are inept, don't give a damn or would like to bang the whore nurses they work next to. . http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2149710 |

You mean there's an element of chance in the world? I had no idea. My objection is not to the RoadID, or against the RoadID, it's against your lame-ass arguments against it and the reediculous idea that your opinion based on those lame-ass arguments should matter to someone else. I have no dog in the fight when it concerns people's personal choices for helmets, sexual preferences or any other such individual stuff. Not my concern. I have opinions, but I'm not about to go around proselytizing about them and trying to gain converts. And in the same way that doping doesn't make a pig into a thoroughbred, it's all about incremental improvements in safety and/or sense of security. If something gives you slightly better odds, or even just makes you feel safer, it's up to you to determine if it's worth it. Not some spouting yahoo on RBR. And, yes, that includes me. R |
