5-10% percentage of victims do survive being buried in more than 1.5m of snow.
The survival rate for people buried in more than 1.5m of snow is one that is seen to be between 5% and 10% because the weight of the snow can crush the victim, and the lack of oxygen can quickly lead to death.
So, factors that can affect the survival rate is the amount of time the victim is buried. The longer the victim is buried, the less likely they are to survive. After 30 minutes, the survival rate drops to 50%, and after 2 hours, it drops to 15%. Younger people are more likely to survive than older people. This is because their bodies are more resilient.
