its how tight you set your bidings, the higher the DIN the harder the fall is going to have to be for your bindings to release.

DIN is measured somewhat in kilos IE: 5=50 kilos
6=60 kilos and so on i weigh 163lb bout 70 kilos so my DINs are around 8-9, also the shorter the ski the lower the din because of the less rotational force (think of it as a wrench handle) when you fall
