Too much foreward pressure ?

Hi.

I messed up something in a knee landing almost on my back but training to land on my tails.

Was this too much foreward pressure ? This was set up by a shop on the slope. My fault was not checking...

DINS are the same I use since 3 years.

Thanks in advance for the feedback

You need your boot in the binding for a proper forward pressure reading

After talking to multiple shops about forward pressure on the attacks, my understanding is that as long as your housing falls within the dashes on the tab you are good. It would ideally be perfectly in the middle of the dashes but it does not seem like yours is not necessarily out of spec. I had a friend with his bindings set on the other end of the tabs and would pre release all the time. He added forward pressure to about where yours is and has not had an issue since.

Thanks for your reply. I was always been told it should be in the middle of the dashes so I tought this.

As long as its in the indicator range its sweet, you generally try get in the middle but if you can't it will be a choice on the tighter or looser side. Which does make it release or hold in slightly more

Thanks for your reply. So maybe I should have lowered a bit my dins.

I will do that if my season is not ended :')

Like I said if its within the range its fine just a slight difference between the start or end.
Depends how you ski the dins can still hold on pretty well even when its a low number with the right forward pressure.
I have my toes a little lower then my heels because I want those to release but its not recommend to have a different din setup
Also there is a toe height on some bindings that will affect the release if way too tight

That looks fine. Unfortunately it is still possible to hurt your knee with a perfectly adjusted binding, because bindings were specifically designed to mitigate tib-fib fractures, not knee injuries

FurlansThanks for your reply. I was always been told it should be in the middle of the dashes so I tought this.

When you can't get it in the middle, go with the tighter setting. If a shop set it up, they would have torqued it too, and they would have told you if it was releasing too tight (thats what should be done, there are probably shitty shops out there that don't do that or do it wrong).
