marnix 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 An avalanche product to find avalanche victims faster (if they carry this product). It is a bit like the avalanche airbag. They also have some very interesting avalanche facts like: The average depth of an avalanche victim is 70cm. and most (no percentage) are less then 1.5m deep. I thought it was much deeper. lawinenball Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 while chances of survival due to transceivers stand at just 11 % (average over the last 20 years) that's lower than i would have thought? Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 There is also a kind of parachute-like bag with a cartridge of gas. You pull the handle and it inflates a gigantic airbag. True sava, beacons are good to find bodies most of the time unfortunately. Still, 11% sounds better than 0%. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 I know the airbag. this is really similar but I don't know what is better. And if you have the airbag thing how big/heavy is it? Link to post Share on other sites
