Pushing Limits, Staying Safe: My Angel Alert Band - The Essential Companion for Extreme Sports Enthusiasts

Alfie Whitehead • October 4, 2024

From skydiving, to combat sports to extreme winter sports, the adrenaline junkies among us will stop at no lengths to get their fix. However, whilst awesome to look at, extreme sports also present extreme risk of injury. If your idea of a fun day out involves hurtling down a mountain or diving off a cliff… you need My Angel Alert Band.

From balancing deadlines, managing interpersonal relationships and ensuring that the kids get to school in time… life feels pretty extreme at times! However, for some people this day to day excitement is simply not enough and they go out of their way looking for more excitement by way of extreme sports. For most of us, a few trips to the gym, some pilates or maybe a jog during the week is enough to get our weekly fix of exercise and adrenaline. However, for others their idea of fun looks more like jumping off a mountain in a wingsuit, skiing or mountain biking!


Let us explore some of the most popular extreme sports enjoyed by some (slightly crazy) people across the US and worldwide: 


Surfing: Despite its connotations and associations with a chill day at the beach surfing is still, at its core, an extreme sport. Anything that involves boldly taking on nature in such a manner can only be called extreme, with experienced participants trying to challenge themselves and catch the biggest waves possible. It will not surprise you to learn that California is the US surf capital with over 403 locations for enthusiasts to pick from. 


Skydiving: Perhaps one of the first sports to spring to mind when considering the extreme, skydiving is premised on one of the most human desires of all… to know what it feels like to fly! Believe it or not, the first documented skydive was carried out by Andre-Jacques Garnerin in 1797 when the French aeronaut jumped from a hydrogen balloon some 3,200 feet above Paris. Since then, the sport has come a long way with over 3 million adrenaline junkies making the jump annually.


Combat Sports: Unique in this list by virtue of the fact that they do not involve taking on nature but rather another human being, combat sports have soared in mainstream popularity over recent years. Wherever you go in the world, combat sports look very different. Here in the US, styles such as boxing and wrestling are favored. In Thailand, you can expect to see fighters engaging in the art of eight limbs; their proud national tradition of Muay Thai. On the other hand, should you take a trip to Brazil you will see a different style of combat altogether whereby individuals participate in a grappling based martial art known as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 


Skiing and Snowboarding: Arguably, more common extreme sports when compared to some of our other entries. It is estimated that there are roughly 14.94 million skiers in the US and 7.56 million snowboarders (all of whom claim that their method of getting down a mountain is best). 


Skijoring: Super niche but we had to include this on our list. Skiing whilst being pulled by a horse, dogs, or a vehicle, oftentimes over ski-jumps? It doesn’t get much more extreme than that! 


It is fair to say that public opinion on extreme sports is fairly divided. For some, it is an awesome way to pump a little extra adrenaline into their lives and spice things up on the weekends. For others, they are a ridiculous and simply dangerous (although perhaps, at least, slightly admirable) venture. Regardless of your stance, I think we can agree that the excitement to be garnered from extreme sports is vested in their potentially dangerous nature. Whilst it's not for everyone, the reason that some people seek out danger is pretty simple. It is all to do with the pleasurable feelings associated with hormones such as dopamine and adrenaline that are released when jumping off a cliff or cage diving into shark-infested waters. 


Whilst exciting in nature, extreme sports do present a heightened likelihood of harm or physical injury when compared to a 30 minute jog round a local park. So, for those of you who are drawn to the extreme side of life (and those who aren’t), My Angel Alert Band can be your lifesaving companion. Should you fall off your mountain bike, break your arm mid-MMA fight or lose consciousness tackling a huge wave, My Angel Alert Band will immediately alert medical professionals who arrive at the scene to your precise medical needs with a simple tap of their smartphone. This means that you can continue to enjoy the extreme side of life, safe in the knowledge that there is an angel watching over you.

My Angel Alert Band is a revolutionary piece of wearable technology, born out of the need to save lives.

Our Mission: Reducing Medical Errors with My Angel Alert Band

By Alfie Whitehead • August 22, 2024
Our mission at My Angel Alert Band was born out of the deeply harrowing reality echoed in a recent John Hopkins study. It was suggested by this study that, annually within the US, 250,000 people lose their lives as a result of medical errors. Although medical error is not stated on death certificates nor official rankings, this figure makes it the third leading cause of death in America preceded only by heart disease and cancer. Other studies would argue that this number is in-fact a conservative estimate and the real figure is actually closer to 440,000. At My Angel Alert Band, we firmly believe that either estimate is 100 percent too high. Therefore, our mission is conceptually simple and yet nonetheless vital. To distribute our innovative wearable technology nationally and globally, reaching every person who has critical medical information, visible or invisible, that needs to be known in an emergency situation. This will, thereby, drastically reduce the instances of medical error that are induced by misinformation and non-information. My Angel Alert Band allows no room for medical error by quickly and efficiently communicating all of a patient’s vital health information to the relevant medical professionals at the tap of a phone. Whether they are first responders, EMTs or doctors, My Angel Alert Band’s QR code technology guarantees that no one is expected to deliver life-saving treatment blind.  If the information shared here resonates with you, then supporting our noble mission from home is simple and effortless. Simply purchase a My Angel Alert Band for yourself and anybody else that you love dearly. Then rest easy in the knowledge that, should there be a medical emergency, you and your loved ones will be protected. Everyone deserves to have an Angel watching over them and no one deserves to be a victim of medical mistakes.

Invisible Disabilities: Making the Unseen Seen with My Angel Alert Band

Choosing Care: How My Angel Alert Band Ensures Safety in Senior Living

By Alfie Whitehead • August 22, 2024
When it comes to elderly care, both nursing homes and assisted living facilities are fantastic options to consider. Both are alike in that they provide residents with a safe environment, companionship, social activities, personalized care and nutritious meals. However, there are also some key differences. Assisted living facilities can be described as a more independent living space for the elderly. Residents are provided with any assistance they may need with those tasks that grow increasingly difficult with age such as changing and bathing. However, they are not given 24/7 nursing or medical care. On the other hand, nursing homes are aimed at those who require a more hands-on approach to caring and provide residents with 24/7 supervision and medical care. Differences aside, one thing that nursing homes and assisted living facilities have in common is the fact that their popularity is booming in the face of a rapidly aging American population. From now until 2030, there will be 10,000 baby boomers reaching retirement age daily. As stated by the US Census Bureau there will be over 80 million US citizens who are over 65 years old by 2040 and 95 million by 2060. Furthermore, of those turning 65 it is projected that 70 percent will require some type of senior care as they grow older. In short, this means the number of seniors in assisted living facilities and nursing homes will increase dramatically over the next four decades.  Therefore, whilst nursing homes and assisted living facilities remain excellent choices as you begin to consider elderly care for your loved ones, numbers of residents are set to increase exponentially. With this in mind you, of course, want to do everything in your power to ensure that your elderly loved one has the precise, personalized medical care that they need. This is where MyAngelAlertBand comes in. In the case of a medical emergency, the revolutionary chip technology of MyAngelAlertBand will be there to communicate your parents or grandparents medical information even when they cannot do so themselves. You can rest assured that an angel is watching over your aging loved one when they need it the most.
