The last paragraph on the first page is of utmost importance.
While I wear a beacon and carry a shovel and probe, I think of it like riding a motorcycle with a helmet. Sure, it helps reduce the danger of death, but there are a number of other important factors to consider which can lead to death regardless of the helmet/beacon.
My point:
This device might be good, but it addresses one of the better case scenarios of being caught in an avalanche, as do most devices.
Otherwise, according to the study, it seems an effective device.
Ski, Bike, Climb.
Resistence is futile.
