IF you don't like wearing something on your wrist, I just ordered dog tags for my son from Sgt Grit, I think it was called. I included emergency numbers, etc, in case he gets hit by a car on his bike or skateboard and is unconscious. I cylce a lot in traffic and usually have my cell phone and maybe even an ID in my bento box saddle bag.

I did not want my son wearing a wrist bracelet too obvious to criminals, etc. (weird thoughts huh? ) There are some international security issues these days, particularly in Mexico concerning kidnappings of Americans for ransom. My reasoning is that a dog tag is less obvious and would probably only be found by medical personell.

I do not like the high profile wrist bands that might make someone think you are worth money or have someone that cares enough to pay a ransom, lol.

I think they would type and cross match you prior to a transfusion even if you had a tag.
