I come from a motorcycle background. I am a noob in the skydiving world but some things run the same. I have a lot of friends who work in the er and they all will tell you the same with any victim whether motorcycle accident, car accident, skydiving, etc they try to get as much information as possible on the victim. I consulted with them and many first responders and that is how this came about. All first responders are trained to look for something like this whether it be the sticker, bracelet, necklace, or card in the wallet. Also, helmets are almost always left on until you get to the er, leaving plenty of time for the first responder to call in the id. In scuba/cave diving it is law that the gear must come with the accident victim so the id is going to be with them the entire time. All we are trying to do is make it a little easier to do the things we love to do without worrying so much. We cant force you to use our service but hopefully we can help educate you to help yourself or your loved ones.

There are some valid point here that have not been overlooked so here is some food for thought: Look at all your activities, not just skydiving. ICE is a great idea but here are some drawbacks: -Phones Break! most do not survive a good motorcycle accident -It is hard to believe but these days some people do not have cell phones (i have cave diving buddies that do not) -What if your contacts cannot be reached? -What if your contacts do not know or cannot remember your important information such as blood type and any allergies? -Also, how many of you travel around a lot. That makes it even more difficult to get in touch with your contact especially if you are out of the country. This system allows you to be anywhere in the world and gain access. The Card in the wallet: Again, a good idea for everyday use but: -I do not carry my wallet on me when I am kayaking, white water rafting, mountain biking, etc. It can be found but it is usually quite far from me. -The usb device: it is a great idea but for obvious reasons would not work in many of the above applications. Actually the brother of the doctor who patented that a couple years ago is the person who created the backend of this system.

I agree and I have run into that close minded attitude on many motorcycle forums I belong to but they will be the same one's wishing they had it when they have an accident

I read the article on choosing the right emergency contact and it is dead on, no pun intended. This can be a dangerous sport. As an avid sport bike rider for the past ten years my emergency contacts have been called on a couple times and as I progress in this sport there is the possibility of more. However, I have eliminated the need for an emergency contact right away. I have created an emergency identification program that can help us all out in the event of an accident much quicker than trying to hunt down that contact. Take a look at the website and choose for yourself but I bet you will agree that this system will help us all out. WWW.SROCK.BIZ ps........ I am not some company trying to sneak on here.... I work at Skyventure Orlando and many people on this forum can vouch for me and the products. This is a highly professional system, not something that I whipped together so rest assured that it is the real thing. Edited by slotperfect to make the link clicky!
