Mammut has been working intensively on the topic of “safety in the
mountains” for years and is doing everything in its power to reduce the
risks associated with mountain sports. To promote this aim, we are
developing new products that set milestones in terms of innovation and
safety. We also support prevention and training projects around the
world. And, under the “Mammut Safety” banner, Mammut has com-
mitted to increasing the safety of snow sports by means of continuous
improvements in equipment, specific training and transmission of
knowledge.
Mammut is now offering all snow sports enthusiasts the highest safety
standards with an avalanche transceiver, a probe, a shovel and an
avalanche airbag. In an emergency situation, the combination of these
four pieces of safety equipment allows fast and efficient location and
rescue.
The right equipment and improved expertise will bring you even more
skiing pleasure!
Have fun and stay safe.

mAmmUT AVALANCHE AIRBAG
mORE SAfETy IN THE mOUNTAINS
EffECT AND OPERATION
Of AN AVALANCHE AIRBAG
The effect of an avalanche airbag is based on the physical principle
of “inverse segregation”. This sorting effect means that in an equally
moving mass of particles, the smaller particles gravitate to the bot-
tom while the larger ones rise to the surface. The avalanche airbag
increases the wearer's volume, significantly boosting this effect. This
makes it possible to keep the wearer's body on the surface of the
snow and helps to prevent complete burial.

The device has an intuitive user profile
that is very easy to use thanks to clear instructions and one-button
operation.
PULSE Barryvox
®
Tailored profiles (Basic/Advanced) can be
selected to suit users' needs and abilities. This allows the device to
be adapted to different users and applications. For example, users
can start with the simple Basic profile and then, after a little practice,
move onto the Advanced profile, which offers more options and
functions.
Basic profile
The user navigation of the Basic profile for the
PULSE Barryvox
®
is the same as for the ELEMENT Barryvox
®
. How-
ever, users also have all the benefits of the PULSE Barryvox
®
and
its additional sensors. User navigation and searches are therefore
optimized: the device can detect classic user errors and guide the
rescuer accordingly.
Advanced profile
This user profile allows access to a wide range
of device settings and functions (analog mode, vital data, tone
support < 3 meters, etc.), which allows it to be configured to users’
individual needs and preferences.
Easy operation thanks to a fully graphic display and clear user navi-
gation with acoustic support. The reverse direction function prevents
180° search errors while a “mark” function makes it easy to record
found buried subjects.
Location is extremely fast and accurate thanks to a 360° display and
three antennas for easy fine searching. Manual scrolling guarantees
an overview of distance, direction and the number of buried subjects
in the relevant list. Fast, accurate marking for multiple buried sub-
jects saves you time.
Speed is the most important survival factor in the event of burial!
Real-time direction display, digital signal processing in the event
of multiple buried subjects, intelligent group test and an addition-
al communication channel (W-Link) for better search results also
increase efficiency.
CARTRIDGE RENTAL SERVICE
Taking an avalanche backpack with you on a flight regularly causes
problems since the pressure cartridge necessary for deployment is
classed as a hazardous item. Mammut is therefore setting up rental
stations for pressure cartridges all over the world. You can now set
off for your mountain vacation without having to worry about trans-
porting your avalanche airbag with a pressure cartridge. Simply leave
your own cartridge at home, take your Mammut or Snowpulse airbag
with you on the plane and rent the necessary cartridge when you get
there.
You can find all the information on the rental service at:
www.mammut.ch/cartridge-rental
An avalanche airbag is part of your avalanche
equipment and should always be used in com-
bination with an avalanche transceiver, a shovel
and a probe. Mammut offers two airbag systems:
the Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the
new Protection Airbag System.
Airbag systems increase the chance of staying
on the surface of the avalanche and allow faster
location in the event of burial. However, airbags
do not prevent avalanches, so never expose
yourself to high risk, even with an airbag. Burial
by an avalanche is always a life-threatening
situation, regardless of your equipment!
mAmmUT BARRyVOx

AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER
EASy, fAST AND EffECTIVE
However, the most important factor is prevention, and the founda-
tion for this is comprehensive knowledge, proper preparation before
a tour and appropriate conduct in the terrain! Emergency equipment
is essential on tours: an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, a probe and
ideally an avalanche airbag. In addition, use of this equipment in an
emergency situation should be practiced regularly.

Digital signal processing (DSP)
Rapid signal recognition and long digital range with direction and
distance display as well as 457 kHz and W-Link signal pattern
recognition for quick and reliable recording of multiple buried sub-
jects in a list.
Multiple buried subjects
Pattern recognition is used to record buried subjects in a list and re-
cord them as found by means of a marking function. This means that
multiple buried subjects can be located without having to use special
search methods.
Analog mode
Analog mode is for resolving challenging search problems using
micro search strips, the 3-circle method and circular fine search-
ing. The width of the search strip can be increased to 80 m in
analog mode and the receiver sensitivity can be adjusted manually.
Earphones can be particularly useful for analog searching.
Rescue-SEND
This mode is used by all rescuers who are involved in a rescue but
not personally carrying out a transceiver search. In this mode, the
457 kHz signal is temporarily switched off to avoid interfering with
the search. In the event of burial by a secondary avalanche, the
motion sensor detects what are now only very slight movements
by the rescuer and automatically switches the transmitter back on
after four minutes, allowing the buried rescuer to be located using a
transceiver.
Vital data
A highly sensitive motion sensor measures even the most subtle
motions of the body (e.g. those caused by heart and lung activity).
Each movement is interpreted as a sign of life and displayed, by
means of W-Link, as an "increased chance of survival" message in
the form of a heart icon in the list of buried subjects on the searching
device.
Energy source
The devices in the Barryvox
®
family can be operated using different
battery types (alkaline / lithium). In comparison with alkaline batteries,
lithium batteries offer longer operating times in low temperatures and
do not cause any damage due to leakage.

Audio-supported fine searching in a cross (bracketing) is simplified
by using arrows. These clearly show on the display the direction
to walk in, based on the distance and signal information in relation
to the avalanche transceiver. The device helps users by means of
information regarding when to change search direction and the
optimum transition from fine searching in a cross (bracketing) to
probing (pinpointing).
The starting point for guided fine searching dynamically adapts to
the depth of the avalanche and the device guides the user based
on the remaining distance to the buried subject using one or more
processes of fine searching in a cross (bracketing).
LIGHTwEIGHT
CARBON CARTRIDGE
OVERVIEw AND
COmPARISON
The Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the new Protection Air-
bag System are based on the same inflation process: the deploy-
ment mechanism is activated by pulling the deployment handle.
The mechanism opens the pressure cartridge and the released gas
flows into the airbag via a venturi valve; ambient air is also fed into
the airbag. The gas in the cartridge and the ambient air inflates the
150-liter airbag in approx. three seconds (depending on temperature
and altitude).
Our new carbon cartridge for avalanche airbags is really light!
When filled it weighs about 50 % less (approx. 310 g) than our
other cartridges (steel/aluminum). The cartridge is fully compatible
with all Mammut and Snowpulse avalanche airbags with Inflation
System 2.0.
Simple and safe
Thanks to simple physical principles
and intuitive operation the system is safe.
Lightweight
In the development of airbag systems special attention was paid to
lightweight construction and spacial requirements. This allowed the
weight and pack volume to be greatly reduced.
Head-on-top
“Head-on-top” technology ensures
that in most cases the wearer comes
to rest in a sitting position with their
back facing down the slope and their
head on the surface of the snow. This
is the ideal position since it means that
the respiratory tracts are not covered
by snow: this reduces the risk of suf-
focation. This is possible thanks to the
shape and positioning of the airbag:
its main buoyancy volume is located
around and above the wearer's head.
Protection from injury
Around 20 % of avalanche deaths
(depending on country and year) are
due to trauma (i.e. mechanical injuries)
incurred during the avalanche, particu-
larly in areas below the tree line. These
injuries are often in the head, neck and
chest area. These very sensitive areas
are protected by the special shape of
the Protection airbag.
Removable
Like the Removable Airbag System
R.A.S., the Protection Airbag System
is removable and compatible with
various backpack models. The airbag
system only takes a few minutes to in-
stall and remove, and both processes
are simple and safe to carry out. The
same system can therefore be used for
different backpacks and the backpack
itself can be used for other activities
even without an airbag system.

The Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the new Protection Air-
bag System are based on the same inflation process: the deploy-
ment mechanism is activated by pulling the deployment handle.
The mechanism opens the pressure cartridge and the released gas
flows into the airbag via a venturi valve; ambient air is also fed into
the airbag. The gas in the cartridge and the ambient air inflates the
150-liter airbag in approx. three seconds (depending on temperature
and altitude).
Our new carbon cartridge for avalanche airbags is really light!
When filled it weighs about 50 % less (approx. 310 g) than our
other cartridges (steel/aluminum). The cartridge is fully compatible
with all Mammut and Snowpulse avalanche airbags with Inflation
System 2.0.
Simple and safe
Thanks to simple physical principles
and intuitive operation the system is safe.
Lightweight
In the development of airbag systems special attention was paid to
lightweight construction and spacial requirements. This allowed the
weight and pack volume to be greatly reduced.
Head-on-top
“Head-on-top” technology ensures
that in most cases the wearer comes
to rest in a sitting position with their
back facing down the slope and their
head on the surface of the snow. This
is the ideal position since it means that
the respiratory tracts are not covered
by snow: this reduces the risk of suf-
focation. This is possible thanks to the
shape and positioning of the airbag:
its main buoyancy volume is located
around and above the wearer's head.
Protection from injury
Around 20 % of avalanche deaths
(depending on country and year) are
due to trauma (i.e. mechanical injuries)
incurred during the avalanche, particu-
larly in areas below the tree line. These
injuries are often in the head, neck and
chest area. These very sensitive areas
are protected by the special shape of
the Protection airbag.
Removable
Like the Removable Airbag System
R.A.S., the Protection Airbag System
is removable and compatible with
various backpack models. The airbag
system only takes a few minutes to in-
stall and remove, and both processes
are simple and safe to carry out. The
same system can therefore be used for
different backpacks and the backpack
itself can be used for other activities
even without an airbag system.

mAmmUT AVALANCHE AIRBAG
mORE SAfETy IN THE mOUNTAINS
EffECT AND OPERATION
Of AN AVALANCHE AIRBAG
The effect of an avalanche airbag is based on the physical principle
of “inverse segregation”. This sorting effect means that in an equally
moving mass of particles, the smaller particles gravitate to the bot-
tom while the larger ones rise to the surface. The avalanche airbag
increases the wearer's volume, significantly boosting this effect. This
makes it possible to keep the wearer's body on the surface of the
snow and helps to prevent complete burial.

®
. How-
ever, users also have all the benefits of the PULSE Barryvox
®
and
its additional sensors. User navigation and searches are therefore
optimized: the device can detect classic user errors and guide the
rescuer accordingly.
Advanced profile
This user profile allows access to a wide range
of device settings and functions (analog mode, vital data, tone
support < 3 meters, etc.), which allows it to be configured to users’
individual needs and preferences.
Easy operation thanks to a fully graphic display and clear user navi-
gation with acoustic support. The reverse direction function prevents
180° search errors while a “mark” function makes it easy to record
found buried subjects.
Location is extremely fast and accurate thanks to a 360° display and
three antennas for easy fine searching. Manual scrolling guarantees
an overview of distance, direction and the number of buried subjects
in the relevant list. Fast, accurate marking for multiple buried sub-
jects saves you time.
Speed is the most important survival factor in the event of burial!
Real-time direction display, digital signal processing in the event
of multiple buried subjects, intelligent group test and an addition-
al communication channel (W-Link) for better search results also
increase efficiency.
CARTRIDGE RENTAL SERVICE
Taking an avalanche backpack with you on a flight regularly causes
problems since the pressure cartridge necessary for deployment is
classed as a hazardous item. Mammut is therefore setting up rental
stations for pressure cartridges all over the world. You can now set
off for your mountain vacation without having to worry about trans-
porting your avalanche airbag with a pressure cartridge. Simply leave
your own cartridge at home, take your Mammut or Snowpulse airbag
with you on the plane and rent the necessary cartridge when you get
there.
You can find all the information on the rental service at:
www.mammut.ch/cartridge-rental
An avalanche airbag is part of your avalanche
equipment and should always be used in com-
bination with an avalanche transceiver, a shovel
and a probe. Mammut offers two airbag systems:
the Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the
new Protection Airbag System.
Airbag systems increase the chance of staying
on the surface of the avalanche and allow faster
location in the event of burial. However, airbags
do not prevent avalanches, so never expose
yourself to high risk, even with an airbag. Burial
by an avalanche is always a life-threatening
situation, regardless of your equipment!
mAmmUT BARRyVOx

AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER
EASy, fAST AND EffECTIVE
However, the most important factor is prevention, and the founda-
tion for this is comprehensive knowledge, proper preparation before
a tour and appropriate conduct in the terrain! Emergency equipment
is essential on tours: an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, a probe and
ideally an avalanche airbag. In addition, use of this equipment in an
emergency situation should be practiced regularly.

Digital signal processing (DSP)
Rapid signal recognition and long digital range with direction and
distance display as well as 457 kHz and W-Link signal pattern
recognition for quick and reliable recording of multiple buried sub-
jects in a list.
Multiple buried subjects
Pattern recognition is used to record buried subjects in a list and re-
cord them as found by means of a marking function. This means that
multiple buried subjects can be located without having to use special
search methods.
Analog mode
Analog mode is for resolving challenging search problems using
micro search strips, the 3-circle method and circular fine search-
ing. The width of the search strip can be increased to 80 m in
analog mode and the receiver sensitivity can be adjusted manually.
Earphones can be particularly useful for analog searching.
Rescue-SEND
This mode is used by all rescuers who are involved in a rescue but
not personally carrying out a transceiver search. In this mode, the
457 kHz signal is temporarily switched off to avoid interfering with
the search. In the event of burial by a secondary avalanche, the
motion sensor detects what are now only very slight movements
by the rescuer and automatically switches the transmitter back on
after four minutes, allowing the buried rescuer to be located using a
transceiver.
Vital data
A highly sensitive motion sensor measures even the most subtle
motions of the body (e.g. those caused by heart and lung activity).
Each movement is interpreted as a sign of life and displayed, by
means of W-Link, as an "increased chance of survival" message in
the form of a heart icon in the list of buried subjects on the searching
device.

CARTRIDGE RENTAL SERVICE
Taking an avalanche backpack with you on a flight regularly causes
problems since the pressure cartridge necessary for deployment is
classed as a hazardous item. Mammut is therefore setting up rental
stations for pressure cartridges all over the world. You can now set
off for your mountain vacation without having to worry about trans-
porting your avalanche airbag with a pressure cartridge. Simply leave
your own cartridge at home, take your Mammut or Snowpulse airbag
with you on the plane and rent the necessary cartridge when you get
there.
You can find all the information on the rental service at:
www.mammut.ch/cartridge-rental
An avalanche airbag is part of your avalanche
equipment and should always be used in com-
bination with an avalanche transceiver, a shovel
and a probe. Mammut offers two airbag systems:
the Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the
new Protection Airbag System.
Airbag systems increase the chance of staying
on the surface of the avalanche and allow faster
location in the event of burial. However, airbags
do not prevent avalanches, so never expose
yourself to high risk, even with an airbag. Burial
by an avalanche is always a life-threatening
situation, regardless of your equipment!

Pattern recognition is used to record buried subjects in a list and re-

analog mode and the receiver sensitivity can be adjusted manually.
Earphones can be particularly useful for analog searching.
Rescue-SEND
This mode is used by all rescuers who are involved in a rescue but
not personally carrying out a transceiver search. In this mode, the
457 kHz signal is temporarily switched off to avoid interfering with
the search. In the event of burial by a secondary avalanche, the
motion sensor detects what are now only very slight movements
by the rescuer and automatically switches the transmitter back on
after four minutes, allowing the buried rescuer to be located using a
transceiver.
Vital data
A highly sensitive motion sensor measures even the most subtle
motions of the body (e.g. those caused by heart and lung activity).
Each movement is interpreted as a sign of life and displayed, by
means of W-Link, as an "increased chance of survival" message in
the form of a heart icon in the list of buried subjects on the searching

The Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the new Protection Air-
bag System are based on the same inflation process: the deploy-
ment mechanism is activated by pulling the deployment handle.
The mechanism opens the pressure cartridge and the released gas
flows into the airbag via a venturi valve; ambient air is also fed into
the airbag. The gas in the cartridge and the ambient air inflates the
150-liter airbag in approx. three seconds (depending on temperature
and altitude).
Our new carbon cartridge for avalanche airbags is really light!
When filled it weighs about 50 % less (approx. 310 g) than our
other cartridges (steel/aluminum). The cartridge is fully compatible
with all Mammut and Snowpulse avalanche airbags with Inflation
System 2.0.
Simple and safe
Thanks to simple physical principles
and intuitive operation the system is safe.
Lightweight
In the development of airbag systems special attention was paid to
lightweight construction and spacial requirements. This allowed the
weight and pack volume to be greatly reduced.
Head-on-top
“Head-on-top” technology ensures
that in most cases the wearer comes
to rest in a sitting position with their
back facing down the slope and their
head on the surface of the snow. This
is the ideal position since it means that
the respiratory tracts are not covered
by snow: this reduces the risk of suf-
focation. This is possible thanks to the
shape and positioning of the airbag:
its main buoyancy volume is located
around and above the wearer's head.
Protection from injury
Around 20 % of avalanche deaths
(depending on country and year) are
due to trauma (i.e. mechanical injuries)
incurred during the avalanche, particu-
larly in areas below the tree line. These
injuries are often in the head, neck and
chest area. These very sensitive areas
are protected by the special shape of
the Protection airbag.
Removable
Like the Removable Airbag System
R.A.S., the Protection Airbag System
is removable and compatible with
various backpack models. The airbag
system only takes a few minutes to in-
stall and remove, and both processes
are simple and safe to carry out. The
same system can therefore be used for
different backpacks and the backpack
itself can be used for other activities
even without an airbag system.

mAmmUT AVALANCHE AIRBAG
mORE SAfETy IN THE mOUNTAINS
EffECT AND OPERATION
Of AN AVALANCHE AIRBAG
The effect of an avalanche airbag is based on the physical principle
of “inverse segregation”. This sorting effect means that in an equally
moving mass of particles, the smaller particles gravitate to the bot-
tom while the larger ones rise to the surface. The avalanche airbag
increases the wearer's volume, significantly boosting this effect. This
makes it possible to keep the wearer's body on the surface of the
snow and helps to prevent complete burial.

injuries are often in the head, neck and
chest area. These very sensitive areas
are protected by the special shape of
the Protection airbag.
Removable
Like the Removable Airbag System
R.A.S., the Protection Airbag System
is removable and compatible with
various backpack models. The airbag
system only takes a few minutes to in-
stall and remove, and both processes
are simple and safe to carry out. The
same system can therefore be used for
different backpacks and the backpack
itself can be used for other activities
even without an airbag system.

mAmmUT AVALANCHE AIRBAG
mORE SAfETy IN THE mOUNTAINS
EffECT AND OPERATION
Of AN AVALANCHE AIRBAG
The effect of an avalanche airbag is based on the physical principle
of “inverse segregation”. This sorting effect means that in an equally
moving mass of particles, the smaller particles gravitate to the bot-
tom while the larger ones rise to the surface. The avalanche airbag
increases the wearer's volume, significantly boosting this effect. This
makes it possible to keep the wearer's body on the surface of the
snow and helps to prevent complete burial.

PULSE AND ELEmENT BARRyVOx

The device has an intuitive user profile
that is very easy to use thanks to clear instructions and one-button
operation.
PULSE Barryvox
®
Tailored profiles (Basic/Advanced) can be
selected to suit users' needs and abilities. This allows the device to
be adapted to different users and applications. For example, users
can start with the simple Basic profile and then, after a little practice,
move onto the Advanced profile, which offers more options and
functions.
Basic profile
The user navigation of the Basic profile for the
PULSE Barryvox
®
is the same as for the ELEMENT Barryvox
®
. How-
ever, users also have all the benefits of the PULSE Barryvox
®
and
its additional sensors. User navigation and searches are therefore
optimized: the device can detect classic user errors and guide the
rescuer accordingly.
Advanced profile
This user profile allows access to a wide range
of device settings and functions (analog mode, vital data, tone
support < 3 meters, etc.), which allows it to be configured to users’
individual needs and preferences.
Easy operation thanks to a fully graphic display and clear user navi-
gation with acoustic support. The reverse direction function prevents
180° search errors while a “mark” function makes it easy to record
found buried subjects.
Location is extremely fast and accurate thanks to a 360° display and
three antennas for easy fine searching. Manual scrolling guarantees
an overview of distance, direction and the number of buried subjects
in the relevant list. Fast, accurate marking for multiple buried sub-
jects saves you time.
Speed is the most important survival factor in the event of burial!
Real-time direction display, digital signal processing in the event
of multiple buried subjects, intelligent group test and an addition-
al communication channel (W-Link) for better search results also
increase efficiency.
CARTRIDGE RENTAL SERVICE
Taking an avalanche backpack with you on a flight regularly causes
problems since the pressure cartridge necessary for deployment is
classed as a hazardous item. Mammut is therefore setting up rental
stations for pressure cartridges all over the world. You can now set
off for your mountain vacation without having to worry about trans-
porting your avalanche airbag with a pressure cartridge. Simply leave
your own cartridge at home, take your Mammut or Snowpulse airbag
with you on the plane and rent the necessary cartridge when you get
there.
You can find all the information on the rental service at:
www.mammut.ch/cartridge-rental
An avalanche airbag is part of your avalanche
equipment and should always be used in com-
bination with an avalanche transceiver, a shovel
and a probe. Mammut offers two airbag systems:
the Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the
new Protection Airbag System.
Airbag systems increase the chance of staying
on the surface of the avalanche and allow faster
location in the event of burial. However, airbags
do not prevent avalanches, so never expose
yourself to high risk, even with an airbag. Burial
by an avalanche is always a life-threatening
situation, regardless of your equipment!

AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER
EASy, fAST AND EffECTIVE
However, the most important factor is prevention, and the founda-
tion for this is comprehensive knowledge, proper preparation before
a tour and appropriate conduct in the terrain! Emergency equipment
is essential on tours: an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, a probe and
ideally an avalanche airbag. In addition, use of this equipment in an
emergency situation should be practiced regularly.

Digital signal processing (DSP)
Rapid signal recognition and long digital range with direction and
distance display as well as 457 kHz and W-Link signal pattern
recognition for quick and reliable recording of multiple buried sub-
jects in a list.
Multiple buried subjects
Pattern recognition is used to record buried subjects in a list and re-
cord them as found by means of a marking function. This means that
multiple buried subjects can be located without having to use special
search methods.
Analog mode
Analog mode is for resolving challenging search problems using
micro search strips, the 3-circle method and circular fine search-
ing. The width of the search strip can be increased to 80 m in
analog mode and the receiver sensitivity can be adjusted manually.
Earphones can be particularly useful for analog searching.
Rescue-SEND
This mode is used by all rescuers who are involved in a rescue but
not personally carrying out a transceiver search. In this mode, the
457 kHz signal is temporarily switched off to avoid interfering with
the search. In the event of burial by a secondary avalanche, the
motion sensor detects what are now only very slight movements
by the rescuer and automatically switches the transmitter back on
after four minutes, allowing the buried rescuer to be located using a
transceiver.
Vital data
A highly sensitive motion sensor measures even the most subtle
motions of the body (e.g. those caused by heart and lung activity).
Each movement is interpreted as a sign of life and displayed, by
means of W-Link, as an "increased chance of survival" message in
the form of a heart icon in the list of buried subjects on the searching
device.
Energy source
The devices in the Barryvox
®
family can be operated using different
battery types (alkaline / lithium). In comparison with alkaline batteries,
lithium batteries offer longer operating times in low temperatures and
do not cause any damage due to leakage.

Audio-supported fine searching in a cross (bracketing) is simplified
by using arrows. These clearly show on the display the direction
to walk in, based on the distance and signal information in relation
to the avalanche transceiver. The device helps users by means of
information regarding when to change search direction and the
optimum transition from fine searching in a cross (bracketing) to
probing (pinpointing).
The starting point for guided fine searching dynamically adapts to
the depth of the avalanche and the device guides the user based
on the remaining distance to the buried subject using one or more
processes of fine searching in a cross (bracketing).
LIGHTwEIGHT
CARBON CARTRIDGE
OVERVIEw AND
COmPARISON
The Removable Airbag System R.A.S. and the new Protection Air-
bag System are based on the same inflation process: the deploy-
ment mechanism is activated by pulling the deployment handle.
The mechanism opens the pressure cartridge and the released gas
flows into the airbag via a venturi valve; ambient air is also fed into
the airbag. The gas in the cartridge and the ambient air inflates the
150-liter airbag in approx. three seconds (depending on temperature
and altitude).
Our new carbon cartridge for avalanche airbags is really light!
When filled it weighs about 50 % less (approx. 310 g) than our
other cartridges (steel/aluminum). The cartridge is fully compatible
with all Mammut and Snowpulse avalanche airbags with Inflation
System 2.0.
Simple and safe
Thanks to simple physical principles
and intuitive operation the system is safe.
Lightweight
In the development of airbag systems special attention was paid to
lightweight construction and spacial requirements. This allowed the
weight and pack volume to be greatly reduced.
Head-on-top
“Head-on-top” technology ensures
that in most cases the wearer comes
to rest in a sitting position with their
back facing down the slope and their
head on the surface of the snow. This
is the ideal position since it means that
the respiratory tracts are not covered
by snow: this reduces the risk of suf-
focation. This is possible thanks to the
shape and positioning of the airbag:
its main buoyancy volume is located
around and above the wearer's head.
Protection from injury
Around 20 % of avalanche deaths
(depending on country and year) are
due to trauma (i.e. mechanical injuries)
incurred during the avalanche, particu-
larly in areas below the tree line. These
injuries are often in the head, neck and
chest area. These very sensitive areas
are protected by the special shape of
the Protection airbag.
Removable
Like the Removable Airbag System
R.A.S., the Protection Airbag System
is removable and compatible with
various backpack models. The airbag
system only takes a few minutes to in-
stall and remove, and both processes
are simple and safe to carry out. The
same system can therefore be used for
different backpacks and the backpack
itself can be used for other activities
even without an airbag system.
