Replying to S-lab Shift Dangerous Pre-release Warning
I recently bought the Salomon Shift bindings and they release dangerously easily. I watched the tech set them up after mounting, had a second tech check them after a few easy releases from the toe piece and I've read the manual and they are set up to spec. I am skiing them at a DIN setting of 12 and still popping out like crazy. Im 5'10" and 160 lbs and usually release safely with a DIN setting of 10. I have the bindings on 184 Chetler 120s and ski in a Lange freetour XT 130. I skied 5 BC days before taking them to the second tech and then took them to the resort and popped out 5 times from the toe in 2 runs. I've seen on other threads that this is happening to others so I'm posting looking for a solution and also to warn other skiers of the potential danger of skiing these bindings in comitting terrain. I've contacted Salomon so if they have a solution I will post it. There is obviously the possibility I have a faulty binding.
EDIT: I habe a faulty binding and this in not a desgn flaw
