Operation

In the event of an avalanche, pulling the handle is enough to release the airbag. The air of the under pressure cartridge added to inhaled air ensures the inflation of the airbag in 3 seconds. As soon as the airbag is inflated, it protects you against shocks and pulls you up. Thank’s to the inverse segregation that allows the airbags to pull you up !

The «Life Bag» can easily be re-used. Professionals and resellers have the possibility to refill the air cylinder themselves (requires training, a source of air under pressure and an adaptor). Training is therefore possible since you simply have to refill the cylinder after trying your Snowpulse airbag.

The «Life Bag» is designed to bring you the best protection, while still remaining light, compact and user friendly.

Inverse- segregation

The inverse segregation is a phenomenon that results in the biggest particles of a fluid in motion, at equal density, being on the surface after a certain amount of time. Inflated, the airbag raises the victim`s volume and decreases its density, it therefore increases its “floating” capacity in the avalanche.

Avalanche snowfield tests done with 90kg dummies have also emphasized the role of the airbag position. It was shown that an airbag around the head and on the thorax promotes a position on the back with the head out of the snow. The face of the victim has therefore less chance to be buried.
