    On PistesHors.

    A story of powder hunger, poor decision and ABS bag, by a very experienced guide.

    Whoa what lucky escape and a very chilling read.

    Time is Life

    I just managed to borrow this film last night from local mountain rescue pal. It is FUCKING Excellent; Mags please see/get a copy from: www.ikar-cisa.org
    .
    It is technical and aimed at AVI rescue and medical professionals.

    AIRBAGS= reduction of complete burial from 47.1% to 13%. Reduction of mortality from 35.3% to 1.3%.

    Beacons and airbags get thumbs up. Jury seems to be out on the avalungs.
