danornan 64 #1 February 2, 2009 In the Incidents Forum, I mentioned something that I have attached to my motorcycle helmet for safety contact information. I have been contacted several times off line for information on the vinyl pocket that attachés to the outside of your skydiving helmet that contained WHO TO CONTACT and MEDICAL information. Here it is: The Medical Information Carrier System (MICS for short) is a plastic pouch that adheres to the outside of your helmet, along with a two-sided information form that you fill out with medical information. The form contains space for emergency contact information, brief medical history, and other data that emergency personnel might need. http://www.cyclegadgets.com/Products/product.asp?Item=MICS I've ordered 10 and will order more to give away at Z-Hills as soon as they come in. They are $2.00 each. Since I just found out that I won the Super Bowl pool last night I'll buy these for whoever wants one at Z-Hills..... size is 2" X 1" and stick on...Dano Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caribadive 0 #2 February 3, 2009 I had this same thought. I contacted the medic alert company, and they said they would issue bracelets for skydivers. They fully supported the idea, so that is another option. They said they would include all the things you mentioned, and also include the fact that many skydivers pass away from internal injuries.

airtwardo 6 #3 February 3, 2009 Back in the olden dayz...we use to just paint our blood type on the helmet. I like your idea MUCH better!

mr2mk1g 10 #7 February 5, 2009 You want the guy who was just involved in a 10 car pile-up because your helmet went through his windshield to be able to find you? Medical info is one thing. But contact info so you can get your helmet back??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My protec helmet rolled down the floor and out the gap on the skyvan at Z-hills one day in 1996 while the plane was right over the city because I didn't secure it while talking to my friend behind me. I'd think it a good thing there was no contact info on it.

strop45 0 #12 February 5, 2009 I could drop helmets all day everyday at my dropzone and never ever cause a 10 car pile up.
