Specialized S-works sells a crash detector called ANGI. It can be purchased along with many of their helmets both MIPS and non-MIPS or you can purchase it by itself for about 50 bucks and attach it to your helmet strap. Works through your phone and you create the list of who it should contact.

Sounds like a decent deal to me as there are no subscription or additional fees. I've already got a Garmin Edge 500 that does everything I want of a GPS. So I'm not wanting to shell out for a more expensive Garmin, Wahoo or Lezyne if they even do such things.

While I don't use it or know any that do, I think I'll have one when I start riding again soon. While the Google maps location sharing would have worked well for my crash last summer, it's only because I was running late getting home that my wife was checking on me. If I'd crashed earlier in the ride on a section that's not traveled a lot by others, then who is to say if I'd be around today.

As far as helmets I've been looking at, cooling is important to me. The Specialized helmets look and fit good, but I'm wanting to try a Giro Aether, but no one locally is selling Giro anymore. The Bontrager wavecell fit extremely well, but I'm iffy on how well it'll cool in our hot summers of high 90's F and sometimes 100 F plus riding days. ANGI will fit on any of those.
