Avalanche Airbag System

You thought cars were the only thing with an airbag...think again.  Snowpulse Lifebag, is a backpack that can be used as a airbag if an avalanche occurs while skiing.  These backpack have an airbag inside the shoulder straps as well as a compressed air cylinder inside of the pack.  If an avalanche occurs, you are instructed to pull the handle and the airbag inflates in an amazing 3 seconds.  The airbag then lifts the avalanche victim to the surface and help protect the skier from trauma to the head, spine, and chest (the most important areas).  Sounds pretty badass.
