I’ve broken 2 ski brakes in the past two days, and it only happens when I land switch. Why does it happen and how do I fix it?

happens when your dins are too low for your landings. coming down nose heavy backwards let's your heels rise a bit and the brakes drop. either get better and land centered, turn your dins up or stop landing backwards

Gonna guess that the snow catches your brakes. You could cut them off I mean I think they’re useless but that’s me.

cut your brakes off and crank your dins all the way up *don't try this at home, I am not responsible for your torn acl*

cut your brakes off and then wear a makeshift snow leash.
