Recently a group I ride with had a serious incident on a multi-day ride through the southwest. One of the riders was involved in a crash that became life threatening. Fortunately for him, the first 2 responders were in the medical field and kept the rider alive until emergency vehicles arrived on scene. He hit a tree straight on at a high rate of speed. His contact information was (locked on his phone) and the other riders did not know who to call, this resulted in a delay of some hours before contact could be established.
Here's my point. There are many (FREE) apps available for smart phone users for emergency information and contacts. Search ICE or (in case of emergency). If you don't have an emergency card or other form of information on your person after an accident it could result in delays contacting loved ones. There are a lot of other options like Road ID but I have recently found this site https://tag-z.com/ for military type dog tags (2 for $5) and this medical bracelet https://medicalhistorybracelet.com/ that you can upload medical info on.
The bottom line is...have emergency contact information available and on you at all times, exchange information with the other riders in your group before the ride begins.
Sorry for the ramble,
