Safety of Skiers and Snowboarders in Avalanche

Watch snowboarders and skiers set off and survive avalanches! This device keeps skiers, snowboarders, snowmobile riders, and other winter outdoor enthusiaust who find themselves in avalanche-prone areas safer. The way it works is through the scientific principles of particulates. In an avalanche, victims are continually pressed downward and rolled similar to waves in the ocean. Because a human's density is much greater than that of a sea of tumbling snow, using this device, victims are able to float in an avalanche near the top. This greatly improves your chances of surviving an avalanche. 6 dummies were floated down an avalanche and all 6 stayed on top. The system has been widely used throughout Europe for over 15 years. It has saved hundreds of lives already and is being used by patrollers, guides, and others people who want to avoid being buried at all as a first precaution and using an avalanche beacon only as a last resort in an emergency situation. Your chances of survival are improved exponentially if you don't get buried at all and also saves you from a heart attack. Note that nothing can keep you 100% safe in avalanche country. Your very best defense is still knowing a bit about basic avalanche safety, your local weather and avalanche reports, and being prepared. There is no substitute for knowledge and sensibility.
