Designed to add another dimension of safety for backcountry travelers, the Mammut Rocker R.A.S. Backpack boasts the Removable Airbag System (R.A.S.) to increase you chances of survival in an avalanche. Here's how it works: In the event of a slide, you pull the ripcord at your shoulder to quickly inflate an airbag that cushions you during the event and provides extra floatation. When the snow stops moving, you have a better chance of ending up in one piece on top of the debris instead of instead of buried below in a cold, dark hell. The airbag is repackable and reusable. The compressed oxygen cartridge is also refillable at any scuba diving outlet. THIS CARTRIDGE IS SOLD SEPARATELY. A final caveat: While the R.A.S. significantly increases your chances of survival in an avalanche, you are responsible for your backcountry decision-making and the Mammut Rocker R.A.S. Backpack is merely another tool, not a magic carpet powered by a benevolent genie that will whisk you clear of danger.
