Always good to hear that one of our airbags saved a life!

We just received word from one of our customers in Alaska that his Snowpulse bag saved his life!  The details are a little vague, but as far as we know, him and three friends were skinning up a mountain when a slide came down on top of them.  Our customer deployed his airbag and ended up going for a ride through some trees.  He ended up with his head on the surface, but his body was pinned against a tree and he couldn't move.  As the Snowpulse bag deflated, it gave him enough wiggle room to free himself.  He was then able to assist the only other person not buried in order to locate their two friends via a beacon search.  

We are very happy to hear that everybody escaped this potentially devastating avalanche with only minor injuries!
