Mailade och frågade om hur mycket airbagen har testats och hur den har testats. Fick ett trevligt och bra svar från produktchefen för lavinryggsäckar på Mammut:
"Hi,
Of course we tested the R.A.S. Removable Airbag System.
The Monoairbag like the RAS has it, has a long tradition and was one of the first airbag shapes which were developed.
There were also a lot of testings with monoairbags with this shapes and the position and the volume of the airbag has confirmed its reliability.
All Parts of the Airbag from the Trigger Mechanism to the leg loop was tested and confirmed by the TÜV Süd (Product Service Munich).
We tested the mechanism, the balloon, the inflation etc. in all possible circumstances and the mechanic works perfect.
But if you want to try yourself just trigger the mechanism. You don't have to use a full cartridge for that. Just unscrew the cartridge from the mechanism and pull the handle.
You will hear a significant “clack" sound that means that the needle was released and you had a successful inflation. Like that you can train the inflation so that you are prepared for the worst case.
I really recommend to train the triggering also with your gloves and snow jacket etc. Cause a high percentage of people who use the airbag forget in the stress situation to trigger it.
So train the triggering and Rearm the mechanic afterwards so that you are ready.
I hope I could help you and if you have further questions just let me know."
Artigt och trevligt. Men samtidigt, vad ska de skriva? "No, we don't test our products, we cross our fingers and just hope it works"
