... would anyone be willing to tell me - if I have my name, emergency contact, and medical info on my helmet, is that some place that it'll be seen? Or are helmets often smashed up so that any labels on them are destroyed, or do they get removed and discarded by responders?
I would venture to guess that the helmet wouldn't be the 1st place a first responder would look, especially if the helmet is smashed. I would also guess that if there was the possibility of a neck or head injury that the helmet would not be removed by the EMT's.
Whether it's a laminated card, dog tag, bracelet, wallet or tattoo... it's always good to carry something, even if it's redundant.
Some of you out there really need to calm down; it's a harmless Forum discussion! As someone else said... if you don't want to use a RoadID or carry something, then don't. It's a free country, and you're welcome to do whatever you want.
