Apologies if this has already been covered, I did a search but couldn't find anything already posted.
You may already beaware of the ICE campaign to put a flag on contacts in your mobile phone to contact in an emergency. This is a scheme to enable you to send an emergency SMS message to the emergency services... http://www.emergencysms.org.uk/ or Google 999 sms. Sometimes a text message will get through where a phone call won't, very useful in the mountains where a signal can be dodgy at best or people with a hearing disability. This is a free service and recommended by Mountain Rescue and the Coastguard and in my opinion a life saver.

Interresting, but it does need you to register your phone & is only for those with hearing loss or who cannot speak according to the literature.  More info HERE.

If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
