Not really sure if you're just trolling here or not. I picked this specific example because it has happened more than once. There are plenty of ways my wife, who's actually tough as nails, has needed a ride home when crashing. Should she call an ambulance because she bent her wheel enough it can't be ridden, or should she be expected to carry a truing stand?

Also, many things aren't emergencies until they are. Having to walk home 20 miles in the desert when you can't push your bike isn't an emergency, until you've been out in exposure for 5 hours. The plan here is quite literally, everything is fine unless something happens, then my husband knows where I am and will come get me.
