In Case of Emergency

Just had this forwarded to me and thought what a great idea which as members of the club which is involved in a dangerous pass time we can all do to make this that little bit easier in a bad situation. Will

This is worth noting everyone.

person

Campaign.
>> The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of
contact

'ICE'
>> (
>> In Case Of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who
found

>> when he went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile
phones
>> with
>> patients but they didn't know which number to call.
>> He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a

>> In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital
staff
>> would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing
the
>> number you have stored as 'ICE'. Please forward this.
>> It won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about
this.
>> It

>> For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc

>> PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AS THIS CAN HELP
