Membership Benefits for 2013 Include

ICEdot
ICEdot is an emergency identification and notification service that provides critical emergency contact and health information at the scene of an accident. The service utilizes the Internet, mobile applications and SMS technology to quickly identify a patient, relay important medical information, provide and notify emergency contacts in the case of any accident or medical incident.      

All USA BMX members will receive ICEdot helmet stickers with a unique pin number allowing race organizers to quickly access a racer's emergency information in case of an emergency. The ICEdot service protects race participants by syncing their name, emergency contact and any health information they want communicated in an emergency with an individual pin number located on a sticker that is placed on the racer's helmet. In case of an emergency, first responders on the scene text the number located on the racer's helmet to instantly receive their emergency profile.
