So far so good on mine too. I got an “EVENTER” tag for mine. The ones you can customize to say anything.[/QUOTE]

Me too! I wear mine all the time, since I live alone and ride alone at night a lot. I got a couple different coloured bands so I can somewhat coordinate.

Road ID also has a free app that is wonderful – it will text if you don’t move for a set amount of time (it does give you a warning first, so you can shut it down) and it will let you set a time limit that you expect to ride and then notify your emergency contacts if you don’t stop the app before you time expires, or add more minutes on to your ride.

I used it constantly last year when I was biking a lot – I tend to forget to set it before I get on my horse, but I think it is fantastic! It will also give you a customized lock screen so that it will display your emergency contact numbers.

Oh, I like this idea*. Thank you for posting it.

*The tag on the bridle, not your horse dumping you.[/QUOTE]

:lol: I’m sure that my horse thinks dumping me is a great idea.

And for those of you out in the boonies with little cell reception, there’s always the Spot Tracker, although it’d probably only be helpful for trail riding when you’re moving significant distances. http://www.findmespot.com/en/

For riding at home this is what I want to get https://icedot.org/site/crash-sensor/

I have a RoadID, too, and it is awesome. Got it in 4 days and almost never take it off. My husband made fun of me when I got it, but just the other day he ordered one just in case he drops dead during CrossFit.

Has anyone who wears a RoadID been asked to also wear an armband since the info isn’t online?

[Fergs]

RoadID does have an online option. I didn’t opt to pay for it, so I still wear my armband (begrudgingly, since all the relevant info is on my bracelet).

I ordered a RideSafe bracelet and then cancelled the order immediately when I realized that what they meant by “secure server” was just that my personal information would be stored on a separate server from their sales, not that it was actually stored on a secure site. The web address was an “http” address, not an “https” site. Luckily I paid through paypal, because I was not able to get a response from the owner until I filed a dispute. And then after she agreed to refund, I didn’t actually get a refund until I escalated the the claim.

I ordered a RoadID bracelet and it came in less than a week and was half the cost.

But I think USEA really needs to reevaluate their requirements for medical armbands and/or bracelets. Their current requirements for personal health information are not in-line with current healthcare practices. There are strict guidelines about viewing, storing and safeguarding PHI. They do not have any published policies about the training or guidelines for people who are accessing or viewing that information and what the obligations are for those people not to use or disclose that information. Not only that, they are requesting health information they are not entitled to and is not necessary for first responders to treat you.

Thank you horsesarelikepotatochips for pointing out the above information. I have gone in and edited my profile- as in deleted ALL my information.

I just went on to look at my profile on the RideSafe website and it shows a secure https website. Did they see the thread and change it today??

[Humblepie]

Hmmm. Gutsnglory, indeed I do see https now .

No one has even looked at mine. At the recognized, I thought I would stick my armband in my bra just in case but I have done 1 recognized and 2 schooling and no one has so much as glanced at it. I have not worn my armband this year. I have all my info on the bracelet but did not get the “legal” version with the link.
