For me I believe 2-3 times, all on the same jump. Never in trees or powder.

way too many in the park, probably like 3 bad ones. then a couple in the powder, which coming from the east has never happened to me before. so those i dont mind too much, until i cant find my ski for an hour hah

About three riding park, two in competition, around four in powder dropping cliffs and one where my skis stayed on but they should have come off. I pulled my groin real hard.

sth16s/916s are honestly the only bindings worth using if you weigh above 150lbs and ski hard at all

Have not really had a yard sale. My skis have generally stayed on everytime I have fallen. Did knuckle on a cork 5, landed at 4 and that sent me down the landing. Did fall filming yesterday:



But other than that, the only time I lost gear was a few times loosing a ski on 540's. Obviously rode them all out switch on one ski, NBD.

3 good yard sales..  1 epic crash(broken tailbone brused spine)   and like 9 tomohawks 

one tomohawk was two full flips and then a lawn dart into a tree well and feet were in the air.

my din was set about 2 number too low this past sunday cause i switched bindings, skis were popping off left right and center on every 270 off i was doing... and i yardsaled landing a 540 on only like a 30 footer.

Finnaly went to tighten em up in the chalet.

Probably 2-3 mostly because one of my ski's pops off on the rail for whatever reason even when the din is at 8.
