FUNCTION AND OPERATING
PRINCIPLE
By pulling the activation handle (T) during an
avalanche, nitrogen is released from the high-pressure
cartridges, additional air is sucked in from the
surrounding environment and the liter AVABAG
balloon (N) inflates within three seconds.
The operating principle of the AVABAG avalanche
airbag is based on the physical principle of “inverse
segregation”. When a mass of particles is in motion,
this effect normally causes smaller particles to move
to the bottom and larger particles to move toward
the top. The AVABAG avalanche airbag increases the
volume of the accident victim and strongly intensifies
this effect. In this way, the AVABAG avalanche airbag
can reduce the risk of total burial. It can also keep your
head above the snow and, thanks to its volume, offer
protection for the head and neck areas. Its bright color
makes it easier to locate.
