An avalanche product to find avalanche victims faster (if they carry this product). It is a bit like the avalanche airbag. They also have some very interesting avalanche facts like:

The average depth of an avalanche victim is 70cm. and most (no percentage) are less then 1.5m deep. I thought it was much deeper.

while chances of survival due to
transceivers
stand at just 11 % (average over the last 20 years)

There is also a kind of parachute-like bag with a cartridge of gas. You pull the handle and it inflates a gigantic airbag.

True sava, beacons are good to find bodies most of the time unfortunately. Still, 11% sounds better than 0%.

I know the airbag. this is really similar but I don't know what is better. And if you have the airbag thing how big/heavy is it?
