Replying to So do marker bindings just break all the time?

Or do I have a shitty pair? I barely got to ski this winter but still managed to break my brand new Marker Griffons, twice. First time was at killington, I landed on a bit of an angle spinning off a rail and the whole heel piece came off the rail system and the ski just ripped down the mountain, im glad I managed to dig it out of the trees and didn't lose it.

Second time was just a week ago, not as big of an issue but the flat plate on the toe-piece that your boot sits on (donno what its called) broke off so my toe doesnt stay in the binding too well anymore. Looks like the skis are goin to the shop again, hopefully warranty still covers it.

it's stupid because both breaks were due to the entire binding being made out of plastic. It's a demo binding, so the heel and toe piece are on rail systems that make it really easy to adjust but they keep breaking and it has sorta put a damper on my season.

Last year a friend of mine had a really similar break with his griffon's, just due to the shitty plastic getting brittle and snapping.
