It turns out that the Trailforks app (which most of us use to find trails to ride) also has a feature which can help you get rescued if you get yourself injured on a ride. Here’s the story:

https://www.pinkbike.com/news/trailfork ... on-bc.html

Basically, open the app and open the menu by pressing on the icon with three horizontal lines in the upper left. At the bottom there is a big red button labeled “Emergency Info”. Pushing it will pull up your GPS coordinates, find the nearest trail, and give you the options to share your location and/or call 911.
