As a lot of you will know Clive had a tumble at our last Gym meet and it got me thinking
I have seen a few semi serious falls at gym meets (Becks was a corker ) and on the odd occation out bocking I have seen some near misses
If someone is either seriously hurt or rendered unconcious we all know to rush them to hospital or call an ambulance (Just as in any accident)
The difference with bocking accidents is we carry as little as we can (normaly phone money and water) and not everyone knows who is who and a lot of our participents are under 16
So at last I come to the point
when little Jimmy (or Jemima) is being rushed to hospital who do we call and who are we calling about
With me and Clive it's easy we just grab the phone and call the others wife (and wait for the ear bashing
)
But using Jimmy (or Jemimas) phone to call the Mum in the memory and saying something like
"Hello you don't know me but Dark Bocking Slayer (I didn't know he was called Jimmy) has been rushed to community general with life threatening injurys"
Don't sound good does it
So what I suggest is we carry a Bocking ID card something like below
Dark Bocking Slayer ID Card
Name-- Jimmy Jones
Contact Phone--Mum 000000000
Blood Type xy
Allergys etc "Alergic to work"
And any other info you think needed
These could be printed up at home and maybe laminated if you have one of those cheap machines
Or put between 2 bits of clear sticky plastic
Or even attached to your bocks as that is when you will need it
So what do you all think

Ps the wife just told me lots of extreme sports do similar (spose it makes sence
)
