Wimpy avalanche.

I 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?

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

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

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