Post ICE (ice baby)

Thought this maybe a usefull idea to the diving community when I heard about it.

http://www.eastanglianambulance.com/...ce/default.asp

"A Cambridge-based paramedic has launched a national campaign with Vodafone to encourage people to store emergency contact details in their mobile phones.

Bob Brotchie, a clinical team leader for the East Anglian Ambulance NHS Trust, hatched the plan last year after struggling to get contact details from shocked or injured patients.

By entering the acronym ICE – for In Case of Emergency – into the mobile’s phone book, users can log the name and number of someone who should be contacted in an emergency.

The idea follows research carried out by Vodafone that shows more than 75 per cent of people carry no details of who they would like telephoned following a serious accident." More at the website above

My wife and i carry a net of kin card with contact details. But we only carry those when we are diving but this idea could be usefull to everyone on not just divers.
