Avalanche Deaths In North American Down by Over 50% This Winter | Unofficial Networks

This article feels that the less than 50% avy deaths is from air bags, but I bet most people were out less than 50% from "normal" years

 

[Joholio]

Last year I logged 2000km

1000 this year

 

[LUCKY 7]

I rode 1/3 of what I normally ride

 

[Turts]

I was about half too....

 

[HotShotHarry]

Me too, about 1/2. 800 miles only

The reduction in avalanche deaths is surely largely due to the limited snowfall the west received this season. What is unclear is how big an impact new avalanche safety gear played in the sharp decline. It is impossible to say how many lives were saved this winter due to the wider use of avalanche airbags

but our gut feeling is that the 2014 – 2015 avalanche fatalities number would be greater if not for this relatively new piece of technology.

Well Ray, I don't know how much avi bags helped but if it saved one person, then the number would have been higher. I totally agree with the opening statement and your assumption. I rode half the normal amount (2000 km compared to 4000 km).

Wayyyyy less than half. My sled is ready to go for next winter!

 

[Chump]

I would imagine the price of oil and this so called recession could sway these numbers to. I put on about 800km. Same as most other seasons.

 

[snopro]

No comment. I'm still pizzed about my season....

 

[tex78]

I still took one for the team and got 2000 km ( 4 days in a row with scratchers down the hole day) , 2700 last year

 

[handyandy]

[medler]

rode WAY less than normal 2 trips out this winter

 

[arff]

Same as last year.

 

[lilduke]

I got around 7000kms this season and 8000kms last season. It never snowed for 2 months in Revy this winter,,, and concrete doesn't really slide.....

 

[oler1234]

13/14 season - 3500+14/15 season - 2200 by the end of February. Baby born in March so I was done early.

Ya', he tries to spend most of the winter where there is no snow. He is a pussy............:d

 

[Rotax_Kid]

Down big time....3700 miles last year, 1100 this year

Poor snow here in Sask all year plus expanded the family in October. Even if it were a good snow year I would have probably been down to 1500-2000 miles this year.
