Scan If Hurt™
Claim your wristband
Your event wristband has a temporary Safety ID. Scan the QR code on it with your phone camera, then follow the steps for your situation. It takes about two minutes per person. Do it before you ride.
Before you start
- Each person needs their own wristband. One wristband is linked to one person.
- Have your email address and phone number ready, plus at least one emergency contact: their name, phone number and how they’re related to the wearer.
- Coverage starts when you claim the wristband. The first screen tells you how many days it lasts.
- QR code won’t scan? Go to ems.scanifhurt.com and type the Safety ID printed on the band.
- Every screen says what it’s doing at the top, for example Jane is claiming wristband TPB1234 for Jack.
Pick your situation
The screenshots use example people and wristband IDs: Sarah Miller registers just herself. Jane Doe is a parent who manages two members, her son Jack Doe and Josh Smith.

This is what EMS sees
When someone scans an active wristband, they see the wearer’s name, age, photo, Message to EMS and emergency contacts, with one tap to call. They don’t need an app. Their phone camera is enough.
Scan the code or tap the button to open the DEMO1 sample profile. Nothing to sign up for.
What racers and parents ask
Does it cost anything?
No. At the Saturday racers test, the wristband Safety ID is no cost to you. Just added safety.
Is this an extra wristband?
No. It replaces the regular Saturday racer wristband. You wear one band, same as always.
I already have a helmet sticker. Do I need this?
Your helmet sticker still works. The wristband adds a temporary Safety ID for race weekend, on the band you’re already wearing. Sign in with your existing account and follow Scenario 1.
My racer is a kid. Who claims the band?
A parent does. If you wear a band too, use Scenario 3. If only your child wears one, use Scenario 4. Add yourself as an emergency contact.
Can I register more than one child?
Yes. Each child needs their own wristband. After saving one, tap Save … profile and add another → and scan the next band.
Do I need to download an app?
No. The QR code opens in your phone’s browser at ems.scanifhurt.com. The person providing help doesn’t need an app either.
The QR code won’t scan. Now what?
Go to ems.scanifhurt.com and type the Safety ID printed on your band.
I didn’t get the password email.
Check spam and promotions. The subject is “Your Scan If Hurt wristband is active”, or “Finish setting up your Scan If Hurt account” if you registered only a child or member. You can also tap Forgot password? on the sign-in screen to get a new link.
Why does it say my account isn’t verified?
Your account is verified when you set your password from the email. Your wristband still works before then, but you need the password to sign in again or update anyone’s profile.
What should I put in my Message to EMS?
Whatever you’d want the first person on scene to know if you can’t speak. For example: medical conditions, medications such as blood thinners, allergies, blood type. You decide what goes in it.
What happens after race weekend?
The wristband’s Safety ID is temporary and expires. The screen shows the date. To stay covered on every ride, Scan If Hurt™ has monthly, annual and lifetime plans, from $2.50/month. See scanifhurt.com.
I didn’t claim it before my race. Is it too late?
Claim it as soon as you can. Until it’s claimed, the band can’t show your contacts or your Message to EMS.
