(in French). The two men are brothers, it seems. The first one down eventually triggers a slide as he comes out of the couloir and into what appears to be a cross loaded slope. http://www.tvmountain.com/video/glisse/8232-avalanche-au-sautet-declanchement-air-bag.html Here’s a clip from TV Mountain, a Chamonix-based source for climbing and ski mountaineering videos.

It kept me afloat the whole way down. This is my second expierence pulling my airbag. The second time was not on film but alot more intense than this one. It was a massive cornice failure to step down avy and i was fully under the wall of snow for the duration of the ride until near the end the airbag " lifted" me up and my head was out of the snow when it all stopped. I will never go touring or sledding without my sno pulse. Saved my life. Twice. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4JUZT_–6Vg
