How hard would you push a tech setup?

How hard would you ride on a Dynafit touring setup? What touring setup do you guys have and how big do you push its boundaries? I currently have some adrenalin 16 bindings that are unmounted but I'll be looking to get out there soon.
I know this is similar to the AT thread that already exists but I was wondering how you guys ski compared to your inbounds setups.

I know they've gotten better, but I wouldn't push them that hard. I think they are fine for skiing sorta aggressively in pow pow that you've skinned to, but in terms of hitting drops, or making huge high speed GS style turns in chop and variable snow, I wouldn't.

ive ridden my marker barons so hard. i bought them used and before i bought them they were used for pure alpine skiing. my barons are holding up fine, and ive abused them a bit, hucking cliffs, spins, heck, even a couple boxes for the heck of it. i wouldnt worry about your adrenilnes, they will hold up great, if you are smart with them

It completely depends on the binding. If you're getting a Beast 16.... You probably aren't skiing big enough.. If you are getting a Speed Radical, I wouldn't be hucking huge cliffs, but I'd ski normally. It isn't really about how hard you ski, but rather how smoothly you ski them. If you are hauling and sliding all over, the bindings can take a beating, but if you are going fast, but smooth, most should be able to handle it

Iv charged pretty hard the last 3 in and outta bounds chop chunder pow to bullit proof and will send some air
i ski a pm gear kusala pow basically a pure carbon renagade w/ dyna zuesss
and radical ft maxed at 12
if you have the capabilities to ski a 12 din binder and not pre release you
can as many others now do si them hard
yes lack of return to center means clippin rocks stumps etc is gonna shed a ski
and dyna brakes suck ass.
i'm not gonna be surprised if i blow a pin and check em reguarly
then again i charged a silvertta pure day in and out for several seasons
i don't care for the way dukes or frame bindings ski as the low stack height no tortional slop of dynas suits me fine
