The EMTs were very thankful for my Road ID
A little over a week ago, I had a blowout on my front tire while traveling downhill on a Butte County road. I went over the handlebars, and upon hitting the pavement, I lost consciousness. My next memory is waking up with EMTs and a CHP officer as they were trying to get information from me....
Thank God I always ride with my Road ID -- it gave them all the necessary information they needed. My wife, who was my initial contact, was out of cell range, but the EMTs were able to contact my son and daughter in law. My daughter in law said that the EMTs were very thankful that I was wearing my Road ID.
Thankfully, my incident convinced two of my riding partners to order their own Road IDs. Your company provides a very valuable service, one that I am most thankful to be associated with.
Update: I am doing fine with no after effects from the accident.

Road ID has got my back
As a first responder, who is also a runner/cyclist, I want to thank you for providing such a fantastic product. All of us -- Police Officers, Firefighters, EMS, ER workers -- could use a friendly reminder to check for this extremely useful source of information. The First Responder page on your site made it quick and simple... for me to forward testimonials and other useful information to all my co-workers. It is good to know that your company had the forethought to add this helpful information to your site.
I feel much more secure knowing that when I am out there on the roads cycling or running, I have a buddy with me to tell my story if I can’t. Road ID has got my back.

Road ID is the one!
I was pushing, trying to finish a set of small hills in PB time. I turned the corner and three skateboarders blocked my path. I was forced to dive out of the way, which resulted in quite the crash. The skateboarders immediately called an ambulance.
On our way to the hospital, the firemen recognized my Road ID and were able... to relay my information to the EMTs working on me. The nurses and doctors at the hospital were very impressed with my Road ID as well. I overheard them saying things like, "I am going to get this for my Dad," and "This is great! It could definitely save someone's life." I was forced to have surgery to repair my shoulder (3 torn tendons), and the doctors said they appreciated knowing what medications I was currently taking.
I won't ride without my Road ID.

My Road ID avoided delays in my treatment
I live on the beautiful, peaceful, quiet island of Crete, which is a part of Greece. Early one morning, on a particularly deserted stretch of road, I was knocked from my bike. The ensuing crash resulted in many serious injuries. Fortunately, a passing motorist saw me lying on the side of the road and loaded me up... in the back of his car. He took me to the nearest village and an ambulance was summoned.
The details on my Road ID were easily and immediately seen by the responders, enabling them to not only notify my wife, but to safely administer initial treatment to a patient who was still unable to communicate with them. I didn’t know at the time, but my head injury caused a degree of bleeding to the brain. I also sustained a fractured neck, four fractures to my facial bones, a fractured finger, six broken teeth, and numerous cuts and skin scrapes.
Without my Road ID, I’m sure the initial response to my treatment would have been substantially delayed.
Following a lengthy period of rehabilitation, I am now venturing out on my bike again. Should you ever find yourself in these parts, let me know and I’ll show you around.
Thanks, again.

I never expected anything to go wrong, but it did
My husband, Ben, and I were participating in the Eastern North Carolina MS Ride. It was a two day, 200 mile event. Early in the ride, we jumped into a pace line, which proved to be a terrible mistake. Almost immediately, the line in front of Ben slowed down and caused me to hit Ben's back wheel. I collided with the ground, head-first, at more than 20 mph.
...
A police officer called for an ambulance and I was taken to the local hospital. Ben was with me the entire time, and because of my Road ID, he was able to contact family members to let them know what had happened. After an initial assessment of my injuries, I was life-flighted to the regional hospital trauma center. My major injuries included a concussion, a subdural hematoma, and a broken right eye orbital.
Here is what I have learned from this terrible accident: 1. Without my helmet, I probably wouldn't be alive today. 2. Without my Road ID, Ben would not have been able to immediately contact our family. 3. Without my sunglasses, I probably wouldn't have vision in my right eye. Therefore, always wear a helmet, always wear a Road ID, and get a pair of glasses with multiple lenses to protect your eyes. Ben and I had always prepared for the worst, never expecting something like that to happen. This time, unfortunately, it did.
Update: After two months, I'm still more tired than usual and have, only recently, stopped experiencing dizziness. I am now wearing my Road ID anytime I leave the house...just in case.
Thanks again.
