Landing Switch Beast 16

Hey guys, I've been touring and going on slack country missions for the past few years on frame bindings, MFDs, and day wreckers. Pretty much delaying the switch to pin bindings as long as I could.

I got a set of Beast 16s last spring on sale, and now I'm toying with the idea of putting them on the 4frnt Inthayne; is that stupid? Am I going to blow these things up if I land nose heavy? The only evidence I've seen of someone jibbing on pin bindings is Sammy Carlson, and from what I've heard he breaks his kingpins pretty often.

Option two is to get Hojis. I'm sure I'll have a great time on those too, but I love spinning around in open pow.

I have a scar underneath my nose from landing switch with marker Dukes several years ago. It busted into touring mode and the tip of the ski cut into my face. I've also blown out of Dynafit fk12s on bc landings. I would hope the beast 16s are safer because they're meant to solve all the pre-existing issues of touring bindings. I prefer CAST system but guys like Hoji and sammy and many local skiers around here in the northern rockies ski pin bindings every day in and OB like they are normal

I used cast and inthaynes last year every day of the season in whistler area. I find it to be a completely no comprimise set up in both backcountry and resort.
