How does the spring in ski bindings work?
I heard ski bindings work by using a spring. How does this work?
There are springs in the toe and heel bindings. Depending on your weight, ability and the type of skiing you do depends on what DIN(don’t ask, cant remember) setting you have.
They are designed to release the boot in the event of a fall, thus saving you from a more serious injury.
The rental or ski shop will be able to set your bindings to the correct setting… unless you really know what your doing, leave them alone!
Too loose and they will release when you don’t want them to, too tight and they wont release when you need them to.
The toe binding tends to release laterally, ie sideways… if you slap your ski on its edge, the toe should release, the heal binding tends to release forward.

I like the selection on Ebay. I always check them first.
