hey norm... sounds like either your boot was too small for the cartridge (they make smaller cartridges for folks with small feet) or you had a broken pair. i have had a couple pairs of these now and nothing even remotely like that has EVER happened to me, or any of the number of people i ski with who use them. i'm a BIG guy and there isn't another binding i trust more to get me down an icy 60 degree chute or skinning up a knife ridge in a "no fall" zone than these O2's. i'm afraid your one day on borrowed gear doesn't qualify you as a reliable source and is misleading to other people looking for quality gear.

I agree, O2's are one of the more reliable bindings. As for your comment about skiing icy 60 degree chutes, you're either bad at estimating slope angles or you should go pro.

Jon your an idiot, it is mathematically impossible to ski a 60 degree slope. Period. Nope don't think you did, it never happened.... The laws of physics apply to skiing as well as say "the whole universe"..... Nothing over 45 degrees can be skied because snow cant attach to a critical angle higher than 45... And yes retard I know snow has different conditions, but no you still can't ski over 45 degrees.
