The three men were buried under the snow and died, but the woman survived because she had a survival device, known as an air bag, that kept her near the surface.


There's some info on this in the cool videos thread, but it deserves to be in the gear forum. These things really increase your chances of survival. Why these people went up there when the conditions were clearly dangerous is a different story.
