How many have used an ABS or similar device in an avalanche???????

[SSWIM]

I am interested in how many have deployed a device in an avalanche. I wear an ABS bag and have never had to use it. I hope to never have to. Since OT has a controversial thread started regrding those who wear such devices I thought it would be intersting to garner a little information on those who have been "saved" by such devices.

No bashing intended, I think the ABS packs and such devices definitely have their place in our sport.
