My family are important, but what if I were'nt around? how could I appreciate them, or the other things in life that I value?
Riding on two wheels gives me pleasure in a way that nothing else does - but it does have a downside, as it places you at greater risk of being injured in an accident. If you are hit by a car, we all know who is going to come off worse.
In any sort of accident, time can make the difference between life and death. If you are in a coma or unconcious, you may not be in a fit stage to divulge personal information to the emergency services or other authorities.
How do doctors know if you are allergic to anything? or if you are on some sort of medication that might need to be taken into consideration before treatment? How do the authorities know who to contact to inform them what's happened?
I've programmed ICE (in case of emergency) information into my mobile phone, but that just tells them the wife's phone number, it doesn't tell anyone about medication or anything else for that matter. Something else was definately needed and this is where the UTAG system comes in.
The UTAG system was originally designed for the SAS, but it's now available for anyone. It consists of an army style dog tag necklace that displays the universally recognised medical ICE symbol.
What makes the UTAG stand out among others is the fact that the dog tag is actually a USB device that can securely contain all your medical and personal details, which is instantly available in 7 different languages.
You never know what's around the corner and if something where to happen to me, i'd like to be reassured that precious seconds aren't being wasted.
