It always pays to remember - when they are cutting you out of your crashed aircraft - the medics will also cut off all the clothing that is covering your injuries - and that could mean your glorious bars ending up in the dirt, and being trampled on, by all and sundry - and with you being transported into ER, as just another barely-dressed, hapless, injury patient!!

Flydive1...
Yes, that would be my first concern if I was badly injured in a crash
I wouldn't roll your eyes at this one too much Flydive1. On a medevac I was cutting the boot off a motorbike rider (with foot still attached, but 180 degrees to normal) and he wasn't worried about the pain, rather the damage I was doing to his riding boot and wanted to know if I could pull it off instead....
