It's always a good idea to carry some kind
of identification when you run, skate, or cycle,
especially when you are skating alone.
If you should happen to fall and perhaps
even be rendered unconscious, you would want
the people who find you to contact someone
close to you, and you would also want them
to know about your blood type, your allergies, and any special medical
problems you might have.
