Yea so my marker squire heel piece has an issue. The piece that holds the breaks is kind of fucked because the screw hole on the main heel piece broke and the break piece cracked in half. I know getting these bindings was a mistake but I only weigh 135 so I thought it would be fine.

Anyway am I safe to ski on these tomorrow before I buy something new? It seems like only the breaks are screwed up but the binding still releases normally.

I'm buying a durable binding asap but I need to know if I can ski on this tomorrow...

and to answer the question at hand, I would say no those are not functional bindings at that point, mainly because the brake won't work.

The break actually still works surprisingly, it's just crooked. I just wanna make sure that releasing won't be affected.

Yea I think it's no big deal cuz that piece has nothing to do with the actual release it's just for the breaks.

Why not just buy a new brake when you go skiing tomorow. Should be about $25 so pretty cheap. That binding should be ok to ski, but you stand on the brake when clipped in, so if part of it is rissen due to being broken, that could effect the release.
