The 10 ABS Survival Principles
- Out of 262 people with the ABS inflated avalanche airbag – 97% survived and 84% of them without injury
- The original self-rescue system has been produced and tested by German avalanche specialists since 1985
- ABS uses two airbags to give you the additional protection in case one airbag gets damaged during the descent.
- Pyrotechnical-pneumatic activation for maximum reliability
- Freedom to move about and an unrestricted view to enable escape from an avalanche
- The airbags at the sides of the wearer’s body creates a wide contact surface
- The TwinBags do not turn your body into the dangerous and helpless “bug” position
- � In 97% of recorded avalanche accidents with an inflated airbag – the TwinBags were visible above the surface after the avalanche.
- � The TwinBags can be repacked easily, quickly and safely, ready to use again
- Personal practice is essential. It’s best to practice activation at home, on the slope or at your local ABS retailer.
