It's hurts so bad. I closed a pair of pivots on my thumb and lost the nail where the binding closed

Its a part of rossignols built in protection to weed out the Gapers from using their bindings...

A guy came into our shop and did that.

After wedging the bindings open with a screwdriver, his finger had a grove pressed into it and his fingernail was totalled.

Correct. FKS will not work until you sacrifice a finger.

Which part of the binding closes on your finger? I was trying to figure out on mine where it would get caught.

I remember reading a thread on here about a dude who closed an fks heel on his finger while driving or something, and he ended up running around a grocery store begging people for help.

No, he was in a pool, and it took a crane to get him out.
