So tomorrow I'm gonna go head up to ski with some friends and there is going to be an airbag there open to the public. I've never seen one in person, let alone been on one.
Therefore I turn to you NS; have you ever been on one? What's the landing like?
Thanks!

The bag that I've jumped on pretty much automatically pushes you to the side after landing. Getting off from the bag shouldn't be a problem.

yup they are the best. at the one ive hit they are pretty strict about people taking off their skis before walking off the bag... worried that an edge might slice it. those things cost like 30k

the only downside with airbags is that when you land something new you just wish it was snow..
use a helmet, skis tend to hit people's heads when they eject on landing...
