In: Snow Science, 2014, Vol 33 (No 1.): 9-11.

If you are caught in an avalanche, an avalanche airbag increases

your chance of staying on the surface. However, an avalanche airbag

does not provide any guarantee of survival, as its effectiveness in

the avalanche depends to a great extent on the volume of snow, the

density of the snow and, in particular, the nature of the terrain. Like

a beacon, probe, shovel and rst aid kit, an avalanche airbag should

be part of every ski tourer’s or freerider’s standard safety equipment.

Sound training in risk management and familiarization with your safety

equipment are also essential requirements.

A scientiﬁc study by the Canadian avalanche researcher Pascal Haegeli

has shown an avalanche airbag can reduce the probability of dying in an

avalanche by around half.

The study was based on reports on avalanche accidents from Canada,

the USA, Switzerland, France, Norway and Slovakia. It considered only

cases of serious involvement in an avalanche (i.e. being swept along

with the ow), and where the individuals could actually have been buried

by the avalanche (avalanches of magnitude 2 or higher). Furthermore,

the investigation into effectiveness considered only situations where an

airbag wearer and people without airbags had been involved in the same

accident.

Effectiveness results

The results of the study show that an avalanche airbag reduces the

probability of dying in an avalanche by around half.

Results of non-inﬂated airbags

Further investigations showed that around 20% of airbags used could

not be inated. In most cases, the airbag was not deployed at all as the

wearer did not manage to pull the deployment handle. In contrast, the

non-ination rate was lower among professionals such as mountain

guides. This demonstrates that training with an avalanche airbag can

positively inuence behavior in an avalanche situation. Familiarizing

yourself with your avalanche airbag - including regular practice

deployments – can therefore be vital.

20% Non-inﬂation

80% Successful inﬂation

The avalanche airbag uses the physical law of inverse segregation

(sorting effect). This means that in an equally moving mass of

particles (e.g. snow), the smaller particles gravitate to the bottom

while the larger ones rise to the surface. The avalanche airbag

increases your volume and therefore signicantly enhances this

effect. Consequently, the avalanche airbag can actively help

prevent burial or partial burial and, in an ideal situation, allow

self-rescue or rapid location.
