AI告诉野外滑雪者将雪崩探杆用作手杖或自我制动工具，忽略了探杆仅用于定位被埋人员，不能承重或制动
AI tells backcountry skiers to use avalanche probes as walking poles or for self-arrest, ignoring that probes are for locating buried victims, not load-bearing or self-arrest

根因分析
雪崩探杆仅设计用于在雪下定位被埋人员，不能承重，在身体重量或自我制动力下会弯曲或断裂，导致受伤或设备失效。
English
Avalanche probes are designed solely for pinpointing buried victims under snow; they are not load-bearing and will bend or break under body weight or self-arrest forces, risking injury or equipment failure.

-
Use dedicated touring poles for walking and self-arrest; keep probe packed separately for beacon searches only. Example: deploy probe fully (e.g., 240 cm) and use systematic grid pattern, not as a support.
-
If no poles, use ski poles or a shovel handle for self-arrest; never use the probe. Practice self-arrest with ski poles before backcountry travel.
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
95% 失败
Probes are made of thin aluminum or carbon fiber segments with weak locking mechanisms; they buckle under 50-70 kg of load, causing falls or injury.
-
98% 失败
Probes lack a pick or adze; they slide through snow without gripping and can snap upon impact, leaving the user without arrest capability.
-
60% 失败
Partial extension reduces reach and may miss victims deeper than 2 meters; probes must be fully extended for effective searching.
