Deploying The Scott Alpride Airbag System; Handling During Avalanche Incident; How To Reload The Scott Alpride Airbag System - Scott ALPRIDE 1.0 User Manual

Practice deploying the airbag so you have a feel for the amount of force you need to apply. In the event of a real avalanche, you
will then be able to deploy it correctly and intuitively. Before practising, remove the cartridges from the inflator system. Now tug
on the handle. You should hear a "clack" sound that tells you the deployment was successful.
6.2. DEPLOYING THE ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM
In the event of an avalanche, immediately deploy the airbag. It is better to pull once (too) hard on the handle than too gently:
give the trigger handle a good, hard, fast tug (approx. 8–12 kg). The airbag will inflate on its own within 3 seconds. It makes a loud
filling sound as it does so. The airbag is self-inflating, independent of whether you are skiing, are falling, are lying on top of the
airbag or are already captured by the moving snow. The inflated airbags will not compromise your possible escape or avoidance
of rocks etc., which you should always try to do.

6.3. HANDLING DURING AVALANCHE INCIDENT

In the event of an avalanche, always try to reach a place of safety or escape from the path of the snowslip. If on them, try also
to remove your skis or snowboard, as these have an anchoring effect in an avalanche. Once the avalanche appears to be losing
momentum, close your mouth and hold your arms in front of your face to create a life-saving air pocket. Once the avalanche has
stopped moving and you can extract yourself, do not remove the airbag and help others. Only remove when you are confident
there is no more risk of a second avalanche.
