Binding tear out

SO skiing in the park with my sir francis bacon and sth 12 combo i managed to tear the front two screws of the binding out of the ski. im 5'9 ish weigh 150ish and had my din set around 9.5-10.
When i fell it felt like the binding didnt release properly from my boot and the tension tore the screws from the wood. My knee is somewhat sore but it probably could be worse.
Should i worry that my din setting is too high, or may it be that sth 12s are shit?

If there was enough force to rip a binding out in that case it sounds like your DIN is a little high.  At your size that is a pretty aggressive setting.

the bindings still should have released, 9.5-10 shouldnt be enough to rip out bindings.

this isnt the first time ive heard of ripping out of SFB's though,
