2 WARNING & APPROPRIATE USE
Any avalanche can kill, whatever equipment is used.

Using the ALPRIDE 3.0 AIRBAG System does not fully eliminate the possibility of the user being buried in the avalanche.
The ALPRIDE 3.0 AIRBAG System must not encourage you to take more risks in your sport. The best solution for limiting risk will always be to refrain
from your sport if the avalanche risk is high. The ALPRIDE 3.0 AIRBAG System does not replace regular rescue and safety equipment: always take
your transciever, shovel and probe when you go off-piste. The ALPRIDE 3.0 AIRBAG System must be handled carefully, and must always be given a
detailed inspection before use. If the airbag or inflator is damaged, the system may not operate correctly.
When you fold the airbag, check that nothing can tear, eut or damage the airbag or the inflator and its pratective caver. Also check that the airbag
can deploy freely. Fold the airbag as per the instructions. Incorrect folding will prevent the airbag from deploying: this will cause a major system
malfunction, and may damage your backpack. When you activate the ALPRIDE 3.0 AIRBAG System, be attentive to your surroundings, especially to
people in your vicinity who could be injured by the airbag inflating.
