Since this incident, I've been looking into emergency help services. The big names in the industry have no service even remotely applicable to my needs. Today I found MedicalGuardian.com. They have a device called MGMini. I've ordered one. I assume it's US only. Here's why I chose them:
1) No base unit needed.
2) Works everywhere via cell.
3) When you press the button you talk through the device - most require you to be near a base station.
4) With optional fall detection, they talk to you though the device when they detect a fall. If you don't answer they call 911
5) I have combination locks on my doors. I can provide them the combination and if they call 911 they will provide it to the responders.
6) It provides GPS info if you're out in the country riding and have a wreck, they can find you.
7) It weighs .08 lbs (36 grams)
With the options I chose and state tax, it costs right at $600/year if billed on an annual basis.
While that's not chump change, the thought of possibly being still under that bike makes it pretty inexpensive to me.
All that said, I have no relationship with them other than as a new customer - I hope it's all as it's supposed to be. If not, I'll certainly trash them vigorously here!
