Protection Airbag System 3.0

1. Introduction and operation

Thank you for purchasing a Mammut avalanche air-
bag. Please read this manual carefully and note the
warnings and guidelines.
E
If you are caught up in an avalanche, a Mammut av-
N
alanche airbag increases your chance of staying on
the surface. However, an avalanche airbag does not
provide any guarantee of survival, as its effective-
ness in the avalanche depends to a great extent on
the volume of snow, the density of the snow and, in
particular, the nature of the terrain. You should there-
fore never take the extra risk. An avalanche is always
life-threatening, regardless of the equipment used.
Like a Barryvox , probe, shovel and first aid set, an av-
®
alanche airbag should be part of every ski tourer's or
freerider's standard safety equipment. Sound training
in risk management and familiarization with your safe-
ty equipment are also essential requirements.

Neither the manufacturer nor the retailer accept any
liability in the event of misuse and improper use and/
or handling. These guidelines are intended to help you
use the product correctly. Since it is not possible to
list all incorrect usages and possible errors, these
instructions can never replace your own knowledge,
training, experience and personal responsibility.

3. Operation

The avalanche airbag uses the physical law of in-
verse segregation (sorting effect). This means that in
an equally moving mass of particles (e.g. snow), the
smaller particles gravitate to the bottom while the
larger ones rise to the surface. Pulling the deployment
handle of the avalanche airbag increases the wearer's
volume, significantly boosting this effect. Conse-
quently, the avalanche airbag can actively help pre-
vent burial or partial burial and, in an ideal situation,
allow self-rescue or rapid location.
