Why You Need an ID Band?
I came across the item ID Band in some of the running forums and was curious to find out what it is all about
I was amazed by this simple yet beneficial gear.
What is an ID Band?
As the name suggests, it is a band (perhaps of rubber or plastic material) which gives you information on identity of the wearer worn usually at the wrist or ankle or perhaps it can be attached to shoes. Information can be customized to include:
- Name & Identification of wearer
- Emergency contact person name & contact number
- Medical information like allergy, medical condition, medication, blood group
Who is an ID Band for?
It can be catered for different groups of people ranging from althethes, young kids, senior citizens and perhaps I think travellers. In fact, its usage can even lead to a fashion statement; just like the yellow band ‘LIVE STRONG’ by Lance Armstrong Foundation which swept the world with much excitement and coolness!
What is an ID Band for?
It provides information of the wearer in case of emergency during sports events, hiking …
It is also an information tag useful for school teachers and caregivers so that they are instantly aware of any condition that the wearer is having and take the correct set of actions and responses to handle any situations.
How can I benefit from wearing an ID Band?
Being a regular runner, I would think wearing an ID Band is a form of personal security that I insure my life with. Because we do not know what can happen anytime, anywhere. However with an ID Band, should I meet with any circumstances which are beyond my control, assistance can be seeked almost immediately by any passer-by. The amount of seconds and minutes saved is crucial to one’s life situation. Being a runner, I am fully aware of the risk involved and I understand that that could be times when I might not be even able to communicate with anyone due to malfunctioning of my body. This is where ID Band comes in really handy and definitely life saving. Not only that, my loved ones are assured that should anything happen to me, there will be much faster response.
I still remembered vividly when I had a biking accident in USA during Summer 2004. I totally lost control of my bike while cruising down a slope and bake too late to avoid a sharp bend. I was flung off my road bike and luckily I was wearing my helmet (which has a slight crack). I think I was unconscious for almost 30 to 45 seconds due to the strong impact. I couldn’t speak then. I count myself lucky to have survived this ordeal.I remembered clearly the discomfort I was facing when the medic had to ask me tons of standard operating procedure questions. This could have been minimized if I have a ID Band, couldn’t it?
So in conclusion, my point is an ID Band would definitely not only offer a peace of mind to the wearer and his loved ones, but also reduces reaction time should there be any emergency!
