Fully Integrated ABS Airbag System – The ABS airbag system uses compressed nitrogen gas to deploy large, inflatable airbags in the event of an avalanche via a pull cord on the shoulder strap. A solid body of evidence including lots of real world experience has demonstrated that the larger surface area provided by airbags keep you higher up in the debris, increasing your chances of survival.
