Just been looking at a Farcebook post re this.
The idea was conceived by a paramedic. almost everyone carries a mobile phone these days, do you have an In Case of Emergency ( ICE ) number listed in your phone ????
Very simple idea, also sensible. As bike pilots our risk is on the high factor so maybe a good idea to list details as ' White with 2 sugars please' ect.
Whilst I hope none of us ever need this, tis a good idea

Tis a good idea, except my phone is pin locked so someone else wouldn't be able to call the number anyway

I've got 2 I.c.e. numbers on my lock screen on the mobile. Cause my phone has a lock then they wouldn't be able to go further than that screen. Should probably carry an I.c.e card or something in my wallet.

My sister said I should do this in case I get maimed or killed.
She's as tactful as I am.

Mind you I did tell her that now she's getting on a bit she'd never have to worry about her knees getting cold again.

Yup, done that for several years now. Don't bother locking my phone because all it has in it are phone numbers and it's about as desirable to tea-leafs as a dose of man-flu...

My wife has been listed as ICE in my phone for years but, like others have said, since I started to use a phone for email, it's been PIN protected so ICE is probably pointless now.

Not knocking the idea at all but I do wonder what proportion of phones survive an accident that requires use of the ICE contact?

Maybe a more mechanically robust solution would be better - perhaps with the ICE number on the phone as backup?

Valid point D-R.
I guess if we are being totally realistic then 'dog tags' or the Infantryman method...
All your vitals are tattooed in your armpit, if you're missing an arm pit then you wont be eating breakfast

alternatively

maybe not everyone rides a motor bike who is involved in an accident....

I know I know, old badger pubes is a real man and rides all year round, BUT

None bikers have accidents every day....

(And yes - all should do this - the original idea was dreamt up by one of the local paramedics whom i happen to know - one of his finer moments i think!)

Are these "None Bikers" a bit like non bikers or are they more like their phonetic counterparts




Anyway, on this forum I naively assumed that we might primarily be talking about this ICE thingy in relation to those of us that ride bikes .......

and since when have we restricted ourselves to just bikes?

we have the never ending discussion about sponsorship deals....
the benefits of cuban heels as opposed to lifts
career prospects for a former middle earth wizard (retired)

and thats before we get to the piss taking....

I thought it was a great idea too but the phone PIN issue is making me consider a dog tag or similar for any event whether it be accident, illness or whatever.

I can't wait to tell my wife that there's someone on this forum who is even more pedantic tha me regarding spelling and grammar etc.
