Sorry if this has been posted b4. But I know, to anyone as accident prone as myself... this is a good thing to know. Subject: ICE: in case of emergency This info. was sent to me from a good friend whose husband and son are State Troopers. I felt it was good information to know. Very good to know... ICE "Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person that the emergency services should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly. It only takes a few moments of your time to do. Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately. ICE your cell phone NOW! Please pass this along."
takes it back out, because blackfuse is playing wipeout pure, and gets a heartattack. so i want to call his iced people
hehehe, jo0 funny mang. Seriously though... for all the times I've injured myself pretty badly... this would have come in handy for the paramedics.

I would have needed it if I was injured when I rolled a SUV last Tuesday, but luckily, I didn't need it.
i will but when i got to hospital from they called my mates dad cuz i have his name as nicks dad and they thought maybe my name is nick lol so he cam to get me lol crazy
my cellphone is too uber to have a ICE contact in it, but I guess I will live with it. How de ---- do we know the medics know that? huh? huh ? What if you got a distant friend and you added him as ICE. Zomg :|
Didn't you read the part about the State Troopers originally telling people this...hehe I don't know around where you guys live, but they are just as responsive to accidents as paramedics in Florida... FHP... a force to be reckoned with, or your fastest response in an accident. Either way... if they do know it, and you had a contact called ICE, and the paramedics or whoever called them... it would be pretty funny. :lol:
That's pretty cool. I'm volunteering at a hospital this summer and I asked one of the parameds about it. He said that it's getting to be a big thing, and there's PSA's going around about it.
Im a firefighter/EMT and I have never heard of I.C.E however Im going to suggest this to my company and maybe start implementing this system in the community
