ICE ID vs Sweat Safe- Information thread/poll

[Shebeen]

Ok, medic alert is still around and charge you R190 initial and then R60 per year. A bit pricier.Suppose the bonus with them is that its an international disc so if travelling it'll get recognised.

We used to use SweatSafe.

I called the ER24 call centre to confirm the tag number, and the operator did not know what a SweatSafe ID was. This happened twice in the space of a month.

After that it was goodbye SweatSafe, and hello to ICE-ID.

All the details you need are on the tag.

 

According to their website, the standard looks like this:

Name

City

Home telephone

ICE contact

Medical Aid

Quote or Slogan

 

Ours is:

Name

ID Number

ICE 1

ICE 2

Medical Aid

Med Aid Number

 

It can't hurt to be different.

You can fit more valuable data in if you combine the Medical Aid and the Medical Aid Number into a line - Then you can have BLOOD

I rather have ALLERGIES instead of ID NUMBER

I don't know the ice id but sweatsafe that's another store . My son had a wipeout with his mx bike last week Friday . My initial contact the operator was not sure what I was talking about . When we eventually got the ambulance there the medics where awesome . When I showed them my sweatsafe card they did not know anything about it . My son was taken to arwyp medical center . Then I showed them the card they did not know anything about it . Plus minus R 18000 later spent on CT scans and whatever else needed to be done they wanted to admit my son . The quote came to R 54000 upfront payment . I made contact with sweatsafe and they informed me that they do not cover casualty and that they would only look at a claim post hospitalization . BE VERY CAREFUL . THE PROMISES MADE TO GET YOU TO TAKE THE PRODUCT DO NOT PAN OUT .

Anyone got any recent experience with Sweatsafe (successful claims, identification in an accident)? Switching insurances and wondering if its worth it for the 50k/ 100k private cover? At this point I am just thinking of just getting ICE ID. Open to alternatives also

Very happy with ICE ID.

 

Had a nasty off at an event last year.  Fainted at the medics, blood pressure stayed very low for almost an hour.

 

Was good to point to my ICE tag and say: "If needed, all my information".

 

Thankfully I was okay after 90 minutes.

 

 

 

Worth noting that ICE does volume shipments to Cycle Lab, saving you courier costs.
