westyI know these devises work and are excellent.
however in this case I think its highly unlikely she would have been seriously hurt /substaintaily berried without the bag.
The snow didn't have much of a chance to brake up and envelop here and was mostly large chunks rolling down the hill side , not giving much of an opertunity for the bag to really function.
obviously someone can die stuck under just a small amount of snow , There are far far more impressive demonstrations of the technology actually working with dummies falling down huge mountines in massive avalanches.

Do you have a link to one of those demos?

Well... from the camera's perspective, anyway. Probably scary as hell to be in it.

I would feel much safer if I could wear airbags all the time.

Yeah, those 150ft wide, 75ft tall, 4ft deep, with snow measured by the metric ton avalanches are total bunny hill shit.
