    Helmet crash card

    This looks like a really good idea. Anything than can save the paramedics time and help them doing their job is a good thing.

    The first place most emergency workers would look would be your wallet/pockets.

    A good idea though, any info an unconscious patient can have found on him has to be good. for him.

    Not a completely new idea, but not a bad one.
    My revit leathers have a tag just inside the zip with two lines. One for your name and one for your BLOOD TYPE!
    If you can keep your head when all about you are loosing theirs.........it's quite possible you haven't grasped the situation.

    I thought it was advisable to not remove the helmet unless necessary in case they have injured their neck

    If a rider is conscious, breathing ok, and responding to voice, dont remove his helmet unneccessaryly. He may still have neck/head injuries that are not obvious.

    I spent several years as an Ambulance officer, and most life threatening injuries are out of sight. Even a critically injured rider may not be aware of the extent of his injuries. Often, only by,continued observation of his condition,( BP,pulse, level of consciousness/responsiveness, etc), can a internal injury show itself. Internal bleeding is a prime example.

    I should carry a card with my blood type, medical conditions etc on me, but procrastination is a wonderful thing. Leaves me something to do tomorrow
