Question

How can you help rescuers locate you if you're trapped after an avalanche? Select the three correct answers.


A. Keep your arm above your head as you become buried.
B. Thrash your arms to create an air pocket.
C. Use the beacon from your survival pack.
D. Try skiing downhill to gain speed.

Answer 1

Well to be clear, answer option D is definitely not something you should do in case of an avalanche, let alone something you are capable of doing if you are buried.

Keeping you hands up so as to make it easier for your rescuers to find you (and pull you out), using a rescue beacon, and lastly thrashing your arms (although if you are buried, it would help much) to create a pocket of air that you can breathe and can cave in on rescuers is a good way of helping your rescuers find you.

Answer 2

Answer choice D is not something you should do in the event of an avalanche, much less something you can do if you are buried.

What is avalanche disaster?

Avalanches are natural disasters that occur when snow falls down a mountain at a rapid rate. A snowpack (a mixture of snow and ice) forms during an avalanche. When the snowfall is sufficiently dense, an avalanche can occur.

Keeping your hands up to make it easier for your rescuers to find you (and pull you out), using a rescue beacon, and finally thrashing your arms (though this won't help much if you're buried) to create a pocket of air that you can breathe and cave in on rescuers are all good ways to assist your rescuers in finding you.
