Not sure how this happened originally, but the wings twisted sideways on a mellow bail today and fucktupled the damage. Anyone seen this happen before? Warranty worthy?

Its just the clear plastic over the DIN indicator thats broken? No metal, no cracks on the actual housing?

the wings are designed to twist in order to protect your knee. those don't look ruined to me.

Photo is working for me. Looks like it did blow away quite a bit of plastic on your toepiece. Never seen that much plastic chip and blow away from a binding in one accident. It probably won't effect the functionality of the binding but I mean with the amount of the plastic casing that's missing, snow/dirt contamination on the binding is totally possible. How new is the binding?

Binding is one year old. All the plastic chipped off let the pieces that keep pressure on wings move all over the place no longer skiable pop right out

And that's why you buy a used pair of fks 155s with a full metal race toepiece for half as much as new 140s.

Oh frick, I didn't even realize the missing plastic holds the pivot points on top of the wings. I would definatley get a hold of rossignol. Good luck dude!
