Horton, thank you for the sweet Baller hat! Cool to finally meet you at Skierpalooza!! Do you sell the hats? I have a couple of buddies that have hat envy!

I started this string and would like to answer some of the questions some of you have brought up. I was skiing 34mph @28 off when the accident happened. It was over the front on my offside turn. I have released out of the binding twice before the accident in the same fall. Once at 22 off and once at 28 off. HO says I should have the setting on "C". Because of my front ankle problems, I put it on "B", which is supposed to release MUCH sooner and easier than the "C". The bend in the rail happened after it released. The rear released, then the rail bent, causing a NEW rear ankle problem. AND Paul at HO, what are you using to contact me to replace my rail? Because I've heard nothing from you other than your comments in this string. My email is millecam@gmail.com  Thanks ya'll!

Two years ago I broke my ankle when I hit a buoy and my bindings did not release. I continue to fatigue and hurt my ankle in forward fall accidents when the bindings do not release. After hearing HO's sales pitch about the EXO and how it is "safe" and will release on forward falls, I was sold. My local dealer mounted everything up and away I went hoping to be injury free. I took a forward fall the first week and the system released a little late, but not bad. Then, three weeks ago I took another forward fall. The EXO bindings released late and in the process completely bent the rail that the boots attach to. The rail was bent to a 45 degree angle. Of course, this completely trashed my front AND rear ankles. I've never had rear ankle problems, but I do now!  The dealer and I have both emailed HO pictures of the rail. It's been three weeks and neither the dealer or myself have heard a thing or had ANY response from HO. There are some serious issues with this binding and HO doesn't want to talk about it. Be careful if you're on this system or you plan on purchasing it.  I'm not the kind of guy that usually goes public when I have product issues. But, when a manufacturer won't respond for three weeks and there is this major of an issue with the product, others should know about it!
