Thanks Matt,
I missed the quote - "I always lock my bindings to not lose my skis on a run. It’s a personal choice." in the link on the first posting to that thread.
Interesting that some later posters say that DIN 12 is about the breaking point of a human leg.

Basically, she destroyed the top of her tibia & all of the soft tissue in
her left knee (cartilage, menisci (?) ligaments). Based on her account, it
sounds like she had her tech binding toes intentionally set in the uphill
(non-release) setting, which could have been a contributing factor to her
injuries. Some people will do that in no-fall scenarios, but as one of the
subsequent posters pointed out, if you're skiing at relatively high speeds,
should you really be using the non-release setting? It sounds like operator
error to me, not a binding issue.

Can anybody make sense of this skier injury in the thread below.
The link in the first post has the initial story.
Is this a binding setting issue?
