Survey - new avalanche gear - increasing the survival time while buried

[Lucas89]

Hi folks! Any thoughts about this new technology?

A Norwegian startup company is developing new avalanche gear that hope to increase the average survival time (15 minutes) while buried with a factor 2X - 6X, 30 - 90 minutes instead of 15 minutes. They have already made several prototypes and had some good results with in-field testing.

They are at a point now in the development process where they are searching for some user/consumer feedback regarding peoples avalanche gear and avalanche knowledge. It would be much appreciated if you guys could use 10 minutes of your time to answer their survey.

Please share the survey to people or groups that might be of interest. Feedback from all over the world would be appreciated for the final design of the product.

Cheers!

There is very little information on the actual product. I am hesitant to provide a survey until there is more about the company and the product. I went to the website and there was nothing about the product, not a description, not a picture, nothing. Under the Avalanche Basics they had equipment and it was all outdated equipment and no mention of an airbag. Not sure about this company, but they look like they are in way over their heads.
