what bindings do you have? Generally (in almost all situations) you should be able to stand on your skis and twist and pop your boots out.

If you are asking then you should not be setting them yourself...

factors include for custom setting DIN's-

Binding Type
Binding Din-range
how you ski
past injuries
Boot type

Have you had a problem pre-releasing in the past? If so, was it your gear or your ability?

General rule of thumb - Your DIN should be towards the center of the spectrum on your binding, to high and the springs will be over tensioned and will release easier due to lack of elestacity.

For example I use Marker 18 comps, mounted flat (except for a 2mm rubber pad) - The range is from 7 to 18 and I ride my pow sticks at 11.5 and my park skis at 9.5 -
