However, this video proves to me that an avalanche beacon provides little more than a false sense of security. I will not be buying an avalanche beacon thinking it will help save my life! Not only should I have buddies, but the buddies need to be educated on how to respond to an avalanche. Buddies seem to be the only realistic means for surviving an avalanche.
Without buddies or other rescuers near to hand, an avalanche beacon is useless. However, if rescuers don't know exactly where you're buried, the avalanche beacon might save your life.
