Runners, Finish Safe
April 13, 2011 3 Comments
Today, I saw my mom post something that had the word FREE in it. I’m in school so FREE is always a good word to hear. FinishSafe, a website that allows people to register on their website and put their medical information together. In return you (normally) can purchase tags that attach to your shoe, luggage, race bib (if you’re a runner, triathlete, etc), key ring and even a larger one for your wallet. You’re given a pin number so should you pass out, get injured, go unconscious, etc and medical personale are trying to figure out what to do for you, they can call the FinishSafe number, put in your pin number and find any sort of health info unique to you. FREE TAGS, you hear me?!?
This is very similar to RoadID Interactive, only (until the end of April), you don’t have to pay to get the tags. Also, you don’t have to worry about paying a yearly fee like you do for RoadID Interactive (I know since I have an account). What’s better? There’s an APP for that if you’re an EMT.
So hurry up and go take advantage of this. It’s free and it’s for your own good. You don’t want to be collapsing during the Chicago Marathon (like people did last year when I ran it) or cramping up and dehydrating during the Cherry Blossom Run and not be able to communicate with the medics about your medical history…you won’t regret it!
do you know if they are still in business because I became ill a while back and no one could contact the company to get my information
Hey James, I did a search and I haven’t been able to find their site. According to some of the other running blogs I follow, their security certificate expired but no one has been able to get in contact with them.
I agree they are no more. Now as a customer who used their tags, registered with private medical information embedded into my tags and on their website. I am concerned. Where has my information gone? How do we know that it’s not floating around out there by someone who possible bought the domain… Anyone know who I should contact about this?
