Two weeks ago I over shot a jump and broke a binding. Sent it back to rossi and its being warrentied but they take forever. Luckily I had a back up pair os Salomon something. Decent bindings, I under-rotated a 9 a little bit and my break didn't open so my ski went fly all of a sudden the break opens but then the entire heal of the binding ripped off the ski. I break at least 1 pair of bindings a year. How about you guys?

I broke bindings a lot until I quit buying Salomons.  I haven't broken a thing except two brakes in the past five years.

we had a spine, about 11 feet high. I went for a switch 180, and overshot, landing flat from about 14-15 feet. My brake exploded, adn i couldnt snap back in. It ruined my evening.

Why didn't you just take it off and keep skiing?

Here's the solution.... Race Stock's, or P18s. Sure having a 8 - 18 din sounds a little extreme, but they really are bomb proof. The brakes sucks, but you won't break any of the actual binding.
