Perhaps you'd be willing to explain what it feels like, without looking it up, what it's like coming out of a fit(epileptic)? The reason I made the card up in the first place. Also the reason why its been changed 7 times in the last 9 weeks.
In the five trips in the back of ambulance last year, seven the year before, same reason. Pockets were never checked, until reaching A&E.
Why was that?

Nonsense. The shell of a cycle helmet is merely decorative and has nothing to do with padding the head in an impact.

I'd be a teeny bit more concerned with a motorbike helmet where the shell is supposed to resist point impacts and spread them but I have still never seen or heard any evidence that an adhesive can weaken a plastic.

Polycarbonate aka lexan, though very strong, is very badly affected by solvents and the like. I've film of a piece, maybe an actual helmet? being stressed, then shattering when dabbed with a drop of solvent. Even oil and petrol was a serious concern - not a great attribute for a m-cycle helmet

Most m-cycle helmets are now glassfibre when it's les of an issue.

I wear my Road ID everytime I venture out in on the bike and the one time I didn't I had an accident

I had my phone with me in my bag but nobody could move me to obtain the phone, only number I could remember was my work

I wear a Vital ID, right wrist.

I had my Road ID on order when I had an unscheduled ride in a helicopter followed by a four day stay in hospital. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on me but fortunately I had ICE details on my mobile which was the cheapie one I only use for cycling and so wasn't locked. The hospital staff had contacted my wife within an hour of my arrival at hospital so the system worked well. I doubt she would have been contacted any faster if I had my Road ID on at the time but now I wear it every time I take the bike out- I keep in in my helmet so I can't forget. The way I see it I have had one hospital stay due to a cycling crash in 35 years of riding so I'll be due another one when I'm 82. Not bad odds. However, wearing the little rubber bracelet keeps my wife happy and it is worth it just for that.
As for the cost, it was about £25 which is less than I pay for a new tyre. Seems cheap to me.

With all that morphine, have you any idea who you are now?

Got the morphine at hospital. 3 weeks spaced out at first.... Who am I ?

I can explain what it feels like coming out from an epileptic fit,having suffered with them until about 20yrs ago,but it differs from person to person.A couple of friends have also had the same condition and none of us felt the same/came out of a fit in the same way
