AEROSIZE Avalanche Airbag Vest, User Manual, Page: 11 / 28

The operation of avalanche airbags is based on the physical principle of
inverse segregation. Simply put: in an evenly moving mass of particles
in an avalanche, smaller particles fall down and larger ones are carried
to the surface. An inflated airbag increases the volume of the victim and
greatly enhances the effect of inverse segregation.
The AEROSIZE Avalanche System
reduces the risk of being completely buried in snow.
USING THE AEROSIZE SYSTEM
VI.
The inflated airbag is designed to keep the user on the surface of an avalanche
or as close to the surface as possible, minimizing the time necessary for the
rescuers to extract the avalanche victim.
In addition to activating the airbag, try to keep afloat the avalanche, and when
the slide begins to slow down, try to create a space with air around your head.

The product is designed to reduce the risk of being completely buried by
an avalanche. The use of the product does not guarantee this 100%
though, as it depends on a number of external factors. Moreover, there is
still a risk to health or life, even if the user is not buried by an avalanche.
