That’s a unique and extraordinary situation. One that I think I’m very unlikely to encounter. But you’re right. They work. Glad the pro got through that! Must’ve been traumatic.

Yes, he was traumatized…still was, for some time after. Badly bruised, but a full convert on the use of airbags for backcountry skiing. Now all of our pros wear airbag equipped backpacks even when doing recreational journeys…and wear beacons.
