Compared to a transceiver search, a probe search is very, very slow. One person with a probe is about one thousand times slower than one person with a transceiver. Specially designed probes work best but victims have been found by probing with poles and branches. 2, record 1, English, - probing
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Probing involves finding a victim by contact with a rod (probe) that is pushed into the snow. In spot probing, the probe is repeatedly pushed into the snow at a strongly suspected burial location, for example, at the final 2-m x 2-m area of a transceiver search ... 1, record 1, English, - probing

Méthode de repérage de victimes d'avalanche ensevelies qui consiste à enfoncer une sonde dans la neige pour déterminer la profondeur et le lieu d'ensevelissement de la victime. 3, record 1, French, - sondage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Comparativement aux recherches avec ARVA, celles par sondages sont extrêmement lentes. Des sondes spécialement conçues sont préférables, mais des personnes ensevelies ont aussi été retrouvées à l'aide de bâtons, de skis ou de branches. 2, record 1, French, - sondage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Une sonde est une longue tige que l'on enfonce dans la neige. Si un corps humain se trouve sous la neige à l'endroit où la sonde est enfoncée, il va s'opposer à l'enfoncement de la sonde. Le contact qui en résulte signale au secouriste la présence de la victime. En absence d'ARVA, un sondage dans les zones de dépôt préférentielles doit être fait immédiatement après l'accident, simultanément à une recherche visuelle et auditive, même si les résultats sont aléatoires. Les secours organisés utilisent aussi ce système de façon systématique, ce qui en diminue le caractère aléatoire. Ainsi, le sondage permet de localiser une victime très peu de temps après l'accident d'avalanche (par les témoins ou rescapés, mais cela est très rare), et les chances sont grandes de lui sauver la vie, ou bien il est mis en œuvre par les secours professionnels après un certain temps, et la victime sera statistiquement déjà décédée. 4, record 1, French, - sondage
