Road ID - First Responders: Would you find it?

I'm one who bought a Road ID bracelet because I usually tour alone. However, as I put it on I often wonder what the chances are that a first responder would even think to look on my wrist. So, firefighters, ambulance drivers, law enforcement folks: do you commonly look on the wrists of downed bicyclists?

I also back it up with a hand-written card stuck in the plastic map case on my handlebar bag. My old helmet from 20 years ago had a little plastic piece inside where you could write your name and some emergency information. Do they still have those and would first responders look there?

Where do you think the most likely-to-be-noticed spot would be for emergency information>
