Safecheckin.com - Make Sure you Get Back Safely

Do you do a lot of backcountry skiing? Feel like your dates have been extra-sketchy as of late? Do you just miss having your mother around? Safe CheckIn is the site to make sure you get in securely. Users “check out” when they leave for an event. They designate a return time, and provide details of the event (location, license plate number, etc). Users also provide a list of trusted friends and family to contact. Thirty minutes after the “check in” time, if you have not responded, Safe CheckIn contacts your cell phone. Two to four hours later, they contact your friends and family. If, after an appropriate amount of time, they still have received no word, they consult individuals from your contact list and inform the authorities.

“What is Safe CheckIn? It is a service that provides you with the security of someone making sure that you return safely from any activity outside of your home. You ‘Check Out’ when you leave, giving SafeCheckIn information on where you are going, what you are doing and when you expect to arrive back. SafeCheckIn will monitor your account until you have safely ‘Checked In’.”

It seems like all the demographics are in place to make Safe CheckIn a success. People live alone longer, they are pushing the envelope more and more with extreme sports, and crime and rape are ever-present problems. As more and more people become preoccupied by these factors, the small price to pay for Safe CheckIn (three months for under $30) seems minute in comparison.

Why not skip the payments and tell those on your “contact list” or other friends where you are going to be and what time you expect to be back?
