About BD airbags that protect lives from avalanches

This time, I got a Black Diamond airbag! !!

Until now, I used a bag called Black Diamond's Avalang in case I was caught in an avalanche.This is to secure air by adding a hose-shaped thing to the mouth in the back when it is buried in snow. (Approximately 3 yen)
In the burial experiment by Avalang, it has been confirmed that breathing is secured for up to 10 hours (while preventing hypothermia).

Airbags prevent the burial itself.
In Japan, there are many patterns that hit standing trees,
The airbag spreads widely and protects the area around the head.
I would like to post the details of the BD Jet Force airbag, not the entire airbag, from Mr. Nishi, a spokeswoman for Lost Arrow, the distributor.
A feature of the Black Diamond Jet Force is that the airbag is inflated by a battery-powered fan.
It can be started at least 4 times on a full charge.

Airbags of other brands are said to cost 1 yen each time because they have to inject gas every time they operate, but unlike such explosive type and compressed gas type, keep the state of charge properly. It can be activated up to 4000 times, so it is also an advantage to be able to practice activating the airbag before going to the mountains.

It is easy to store after the airbag is inflated, it does not need to be folded neatly, and it is easy to handle just by putting it in the airbag compartment.

According to European statistics, the survival rate of completely buried people is 51%.From this, it can be said that airbags are quite effective in preventing complete burial when caught in an avalanche.

Also, the important thing in Jet Force is battery management.Since it is supposed to be used in extremely low temperatures, it is essential not to store it at high temperatures and to maintain a certain degree of charge.

The price is as high as about 18 yen, but if you can save your life at 18 yen, it will be cheap (o ^^ o).
