Road ID (great for runners)

LuckyAng

The Ankle ID is constructed of comfortable and flexible neoprene so it does not interfere with your natural movement. Laser engraved with your emergency contact information. Peace of mind included!

I've seen them for the wrist before too. Absolutely a fabulous idea!

From what I have heard from first responders, get the wrist one. They will always check your pulse and will see it.

Ooh, good call!

They also sell one that goes on your running shoes. The wrist might be a better overall location but attached to my shoes I won't ever forget to wear it.

These are the worst to get actually. Often when a person is hit by a car, the force actually knocks them out of their shoes. Scary but true.

I have one. On my shoe. ID, emergency contacts, allergies, the police file number of the guy stalking me . . .

I have the wrist one with emergency contact numbers, blood type, health insurance # etc - any time I'm without my wallet it's on my wrist.

I have one that I wear when running. When my son was younger I had one for him that he wore when we went to Disney or any other crowded place. It was nice to know my cell number was on him if he couldn't remember it.

When we went to Disney, I researched all sorts of methods of tagging my son. What I ended up doing was putting my phone number on his arm with a Sharpie. Waterproof, visible, he couldn't decide to take it off, nor could anyone else.

It is true. A friend of mine was hit while running and ended up shoeless from the impact. He's lucky to be alive. I have friends who attach their Road IDs to their bikes, which is really beyond useless. No one's going to look a the bike to check for allergies or medical conditions.

Can you buy in stores also?

Nope...they are custom engraved.

I got the wrist one for my husband - he's a bicyclist. I agree that the wrist makes the most sense for all the reasons given. Now thinking I should get one for myself since I've started running.

Great call on the sharpie on the arm too - we used to sharpie our son's belly when we'd go to crowded places - he was really good at lifting up his shirt and it was easy to train him to do that when he was really young.

I've had the wrist version for over a year now, and I never hit the pavement without it. It has held up really well. I even wear it while showering after a run to clean it and keep it from smelling funky!

My Mom - the chronic worry queen - just called me yesterday to tell me she ordered one for me. It's a great idea!
