Odds are higher that you die on the way to church on Sunday morning with the family then on your snowmobile.
The real danger is when you start second guessing your abilities no matter what your doing.
The real Danger is in taking unnecessary risk and not realizing that avys are a simple numbers thing. You hit enough hills that are avy potential, eventually you will be caught in one.

Unfortunately, it usually takes someone to be die, or a close call before anything really gets done about it. I was hit by an avy last year in Revy. I was at the top of it and fortunately didn't get buried, just slightly injured. I didn't wear a beacon until after this happened. I bought two.
This past X-Mas Eve was the big eye opener. To make a long story short, having to do CPR on someone you know is not pleasant. Especially when the person helping is the victim's father. We lost two friends that night. X-Mas will never be the same.
It's a reality, and the odds are high if you play in the mountains. Be prepared, where the right safety gear, and ride smart. My 7 year old daughter was stressed the entire time I went riding last weekend. Apparently, calling my cell phone every half an hour. That's my reality call. I won't stop riding, but I will ride much smarter from now on.
