line binding problems (not talking about pre-release)

alright, i have the reactor 12s and i like them a lot...i mean, im not having trouble with pre-releasing, but the problems that i am having are pissing me off. for instance, just today, i went skiing and i probably hit a jump that sent me about 10 feet in the air, and i stomped the landing and BOTH of my skis popped off. that shouldnt happen (at least to my knowledge). i mean, i'm not a small kid, im 6'2', 210 pounds, and i have my din set to 8. thats about right for me, but my skis shouldnt pop out like that.
next, im having another wierd problem with them that i havent heard from one person that has had the same problem...you know the back part that sticks up that you push down to get out of your binding (sorry, i dont know the correct terminology for it), well sometimes, (not all the time, only sometimes) i will push that down so its not sticking up in the air and it will be in the position that you would want it if you were going to take your boot off, but the problem is that my boot will still be locked in good. its very wierd. its like the lever type thing has a mind of its own...the only way for me to get my boot out then is to pound my ski on the ground at angles so it will pop off.
i dont know if these two problems are because of how they were mounted or what, but its really frustraiting. any feedback will work. alright im out...

I think the dins may be different with that binding. I had tyrolias...and the chart said I needed to be at 8, but yet they would always come off...yet my looks set at 8 never come off when I don't want them to.
That problem with your boot being stuck. That happen to this person I was riding with today, but she had ice incrusted on her bindings and her heal.

im 6'2 185, with a size 30.0 boot.
My din's are never below 11.
your boot's length also contributes to the din setting...bigger boot, higher din.
work to live...not live to work.
work to ski...but only if you ski to work. The simple equation to skibumming 101
...i didnt do it

I've seen a couple of the bindings with the dins all fucked up. Miscalibrated from the factory, and least it sure seems that way

um, dude, i dont think 8 is right for you, i have a pair of 175 TMs w/ P10s set to 7, and a pr of 182 intuitives w/ p12s set to 6, and they dont release perfectly, no prerelease, no nonrelease, im only 175 lbs, so you prolly need it set higher than 8, but i could be wrong
