A satellite communication device that could save your life
Good news, the snowmobile season is just around the corner, and many of you have been waiting patiently for it. Stunning white landscapes, Canadian winter forests, and the adventures our beautiful nature has in store for you.
For a decade, Quebec has been suffering from numerous snowmobile-related deaths. It is a sad reality proven by statistics:
- There is an average of 29 deaths per year related to snowmobiling;
- Nine out of ten victims are men;
- 51% were between 20 and 39 years old.
These figures lead us to a more concrete and important reflection on these terrible facts. Snowmobiling is a wonderful activity, a pleasure, and a privilege that we can enjoy in Quebec.
Be cautious and responsible for your actions.
Being vigilant on a snowmobile means: riding on marked trails, controlling your alcohol consumption, paying attention to signs, and respecting speed limits. But that’s not all. At the beginning of each season, make sure you have a good GPS adapted for off-road activities and a satellite phone with a plan that meets all your needs. Or, a reliable GPS device equipped with an SOS button allowing two-way SMS messaging. Finally, make sure to activate your Airmedic protection.
The SOS button on your satellite communication device
The SOS button on your GPS device or on your satellite communication device requires special attention. First, you must properly program Airmedic’s contact information as your primary emergency contact. It is also important to keep your device’s firmware up to date (to ensure full functionality). The SOS button on each device is connected to a different emergency center, which is why it is essential to understand how the SOS function of your specific device works. Depending on your device, there are different ways to communicate with Airmedic’s emergency center.
