Description: Alpine ski binding
Country of origin: Romania
Injuries
The product poses a risk of injuries because there is the possibility that it could inadvertently release during use when the binding is set to a low release value (DIN value below 5) and/or the front part of the ski boot is worn.
Two incidents have been reported where injuries were attributed to the inadvertent release of the binding.
