Pro snowboarder Meesh Hytner is very glad that she had her Float 30 airbag with her the other day while riding in Colorado, it might have saved her life. I have never seen one of these bags is action, and I have always had my doubts about their effectiveness. As they say “The proof is in the pudding.” And this pudding seems to do a good job of keeping you on top.
This footage was taken Jan. 25, 2012, in the backcountry near Montezuma, Colorado. It features female pro snowboarder Meesh Hytner being caught in a sizeable (~class 3) avalanche and deploying her Float 30 avalanche airbag before taking a long ride.
