ski binding release failure

When considering a ski binding failure case:

-always suspect the retailer/ski shop first. If there is a problem it is likely to be an adjustment problem;

-never put the ski boot into the binding as an informal "test" of the system. You may alter or destroy important information about the condition of the boot/binding interface;

-preserve the evidence by storing skis and boots in separate bags so that important parts do not scrape, rub or bang together;

-try to locate exemplar boots, skis and bindings and buy them for test purposes;

-screen potential experts carefully;

-consider the seriousness of the injuries. What would it really take to help the client? These can be expensive cases to pursue.
