[QUOTE="termons, post: 1092297, member: 46857"] Från Wildsnow... Mammut Dave November 16th, 2017 3:36 pm Hi everyone, Of course we keep an eye on and look at all of the various technologies. Several years ago we worked with an engineering firm we often partner with to do a feasability study on several different airbag technologies, including air and nitrogen like we currently use, batteries, as well as some others.
