• An AVABAG avalanche airbag cannot prevent
avalanches.
• You should not, in any way, take more risks because
you are using an AVABAG avalanche airbag.
• The function and operating principle of the AVABAG
avalanche airbag is designed to reduce the risk of
burial. However, there are situations in which this is
not possible or is only possible to a limited extent.
• The AVABAG system must be activated manually.
A filled AVABAG cartridge is necessary for correct
activation.
• The AVABAG avalanche airbag requires careful
handling and an exact check to ensure that it is in
proper working order before each use.

tion with an AVABAG cartridge.
