An older friend of mine landed his PPC out in the Nevada desert to take a leak but hit a rock and broke his leg when it slipped off the steering bar. There he is in the middle of nowhere, all alone, with a badly broken leg, unable to take off and fly back to camp. Fortunately he had recently purchased a Spot and was rescued by the sheriff a few hours later. Back at camp his wife got the message but didn't know how to use the GPS to find him.
I've been thinking about getting one because there is no cell service where I often ride in Central Oregon and you're not likely to see another person for days or weeks. Flying out there carries the same risk.
