Not so good....
By ktown
Ranked #765 - Alpine Touring Bindings
October 9, 2009
I skied the Barons for about a week last winter and was feeling pretty good about them, until I went off a cliff, landed in some crud and took a spill. My left binding did not release as it should have, and I ended up tearing my ACL. Of course I wouldn't be happy with any binding that I blow my knee out on, but these should have easily released in this case and didn't.

This is a classic example of guys who jack their DIN all the way up without understanding the potential consequences. This was not the binding's fault.

maybe you'd be interested in the knee binding it has some release that prevents acl injurys only its a random company so i have no clue if they'd be reliable

Seriously? My friends Dad tore his ACL on a bunny hill with his skiis set to beginner setings, in otherwords pretty much what Hank says.

Unless your bindings failed a certified shop test, I dont think you can say the binding caused your injury... skiing is too dynamic to definitively say your clamps should or shouldn't have released in any given situation. Hope summer PT went well and you're all set for this winter.
