Ripping out bindings

Is there some insert or technique that I need to mount with because I just blew up a pair of attacks that pulled out of the skis and the heel piece exploded. Also on switch landings I also have pulled out bindings by landing heavy switch. Is it over for me or can I save my skis?

Oh damm. Are you mounting your bindings yourself? Perhaps the you are overtorqueing the screws when mounting and partially stripping out the core before you even ride the skis

Items maybe a contributing factor that because the brakes on the attacks are screwed into the ski, rather just than into the heel spring carrier piece a la marker/Salomon, that when you land toes heavy switch and the brake starts to deploy that when it digs in it directly yanks on the screws holding the whole track and heel onto the ski making a tear out more likely.

I didn't think about that but the two bindings I've used are pivot and attacks so that seems like it might be a factor, thanks for the input
