[TYPO3-t3board] Avalanche tranceivers deal

[Daniel Hinderink]

Hi folks,

may be you are not aware that avalanches kill snowboarders everywhere 
and quite likely right next to the slopes. Especially in such a 
situation a tranceiver is your only chance to be found in time.

Here is the list of fatal avalanche accidents in Switzerland in 2008:

A personal note:

The person that got killed on 18.3.2008 at Piz Bleis Marscha was a 
friend of mine and professional mountain guide, that I have been rock 
climbing with for many years.

If a very cautious guy like him cannot outrule fatal injury, then there 
is no way of protecting yourself a 100%, even if you are very experienced.

If it wouldn't have been for a 100 meter drop, Othmars only chance would 
have been to be dug out by his companions [1].

Be smart! You'll won't get a cheaper deal for a new LVS!

cheers

Daniel
