Safety Info

In case of an avalanche, immediately move to the side and try to escape the path. If you’re caught, try to swim to stay on the surface and create an air pocket by using your hands to protect your face. Keep calm—help will arrive.

If you get lost, stop moving to avoid getting further disoriented. If you have a map and compass, use them to pinpoint your location. If you’re unable to find your way, stay put and signal for help. Trust that you’re equipped with the knowledge to keep safe.

If you fall, try to relax and rid yourself of panic. Protect your head and roll when landing if possible. Assess any injuries immediately, and if you can, seek assistance from fellow adventurers or instructors nearby. Staying calm is your best strategy.

In bad weather, seek shelter as soon as possible. If you’re caught outside, find a safe area with minimal risk from wind and falling objects. Dress in layers and stay dry to maintain body heat. Keep an eye on weather updates to ensure you’re not putting yourself at risk.

You should always carry a basic first aid kit that includes adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, gauze, and emergency contact numbers. Make sure you know how to use each item and have a plan for severe injuries. Regularly check your kit to keep it stocked and ready for action.
