Dynafits save skier from huge crevasse

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #9 - Alpine Touring Bindings October 25, 2010

In this video, Ben Ditto is talking about how he hung from a single locked-out Dynafit toe piece for roughly 30 minutes over the top of a HUGE crevasse. The video has been edited for public consumption, so use your imagination when he says things like "I was crying like a (blank) baby," Ben had locked out his toe pieces as he didn't have brakes or leashes, and it turned out to be a very good idea. His heel pieces released when he punched through the crevasse, but the tiny little toe pieces on one binding held his entire weight. At the end of the video I say that he was hanging by a heel piece, but it was actually the toe.
