mine are at 7 and they hardly ever come off. The only times they really come off are when i can feel my legs like HURTING badly and then they pop loose. but thats how i like it tho.

i just heard a horror story of a woman having her leg shattered (not broken, mind you, shattered) because her ski didn't pop off when she fell... that scared the shit out of me. i think mine are 8.5, haven't felt the need to crank it up. 14 just seems suicidal.

come to think of it, the only time i really pop out of my bindings is when i pop out of my toe piece... does anyone else have a problem with this? riding/landing backseat can make them go. i have marker 1000's, which i know is not the best binding, but they were from my old skis and i am poor.

Bring them to a shop. The bindings need to be checked out and set agains. This happened to me as well, everytime I'd land it would pop out nose first. After a few minor ajustments, I was good.

you all realize that without the boot sole length, all of this means nothing?

2 people, both weighing the same, but with a 10mm difference in bootsole will have din settings off by quite a bit.

mine are at 8. they've popped once when they shouldn't have. i'd rather that right now than a torn knee. when i used to compete in moguls, my dins were so high i was scared of falling.

The problem with having a low din is that when you are straight lining stuff or skiing a really technical line fast and our ski pops off before you fall you can get injured quite badly because of a low din, This happened to me once and I have kept a high din since
