Why gear alone isn’t enough: training before rescuing in the mountains

Today, many people believe that simply buying rescue equipment is enough to stay safe in the mountains.

For Dominique Perret, this is a dangerous illusion.

In this video, we explore a key question: how can we train freeriders intelligently before an accident happens, rather than reacting after?

Dominique explains:

• Why prevention is more effective than relying on equipment alone
• How current training approaches show their limits
• Why anticipating risk is more effective than reacting after the fact
• How a coherent educational approach can truly save lives

A key episode to better understand WEMountain’s educational philosophy and the paradigm shift it promotes.
