well my heel didnt latch in right so like my heel was like 1/4 sticking out and i didnt even notice it until i hit this lip and when i landed (landed fine) my heel hit the snow and i was going fast so when it did hit the ground it twisted my ankle and broke it and made me tumble down the hill
they said 4-6 weeks for healing and i havent moved it or really anything besides the first week i got it cus i didnt know it was broken

umm, sorry, i fail to see how you not putting your boots in the binding correctly is the bindings fault.

I landed in a foam pit with my shoes on and landed directly on my ankle, severly spraining it. It swelled up to the size of a watermelon.

just don't be stupid and mess it up worse by starting too early. and it's not the binding's fault.

Embarassingly, I was actually playing football. Broke it in 3 places. One of the breaks basically needed surgery, but since another one of the breaks went through a growth plate they opted to not do surgery. Thats why the recovery time was soo damn long. I was in a full leg cast for 4 of those weeks because of my goddamn ankle.
