Two levels fused and plated in the low back, so as posted previously, I swear by my RoadID, the medical professionals and first responders I have talked to about them all said that they have learned to look for them as long as the injured isn't badly ground up, or a TBI/spinal injury type. They can cut the different type bands off with out shifting your body any at all, with the scissors they carry and have the tag with the information, or use the PIN and 800 call number on the interactive ones, like my wife and I use.
No stock in selling folks on them, and I doubt I could change anyone's mind about whether or not to use one, but I do believe in them. From talking with my neurologist, and his nurses, they are a good thing to wear, especially for someone like me with Parkinson's Disease and spinal issues.
Moalpha, good on you for just keeping on riding with that level of work on your spine and in your neck as well. Are you using a drop bar bicycle, or a flat bar? Keep on riding!
Bill
