I figure if I'm in an accident one of the first things they'll do is check my head. And if my helmet has been knocked all the way off, I'm not sure there's much they'll be able to do for me anyway. The other reason I went in this direction is that my phone is locked and can only be opened with a password (the reason for this is another story).
BTW - I used to have a hemet ID but one day had a bad injury, I crashed off my bike, was knocked out. When the paramedics came the first thing they did (after checking me out - so I am told) was remove my helmet and set it off to the side. It was forgotten and never checked. Paramedics routinely checked one's neck or wrist for Medic Alert bracelets.
BTW I have no idea what ever happened to my helmet. It just disappeared.
