The Knee Binding

You're at risk
Strains and tears to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) are now the #1 injury in skiing, with an estimated 70,000 occurrences each year.  Collectively, ACL injuries are also the most expensive injury in the history of the ski industry, with an annual health care cost estimated at over $1 billion.  Nearly one out of four skiers who injures their ACLs never returns to the slopes.

Ordinary bindings are "two-dimensional," allowing a skier's foot to twist out sideways at the toe, or to pull up and forward at the heel.  The combination of these two release mechanisms are standard on all alpine bindings, and they work well to prevent some injuries.  But neither of these mechanisms can detect or respond to the specific forces that cause most of the ACL injuries in skiing.

Now there's KneeBinding The revolutionary new KneeBinding #M09 and #W09 ski bindings are premium products, providing all the convenience and performance, and all the retention and reliability of the best ordinary bindings.

PLUS - KneeBinding ski bindings provide a third dimension - a "PureLateral" heel release that specifically detects these combined forces and allows a skier's heel to twist out sideways just before such an ACL injury can occur - without pre-release issues!

No other binding does this!
"Diagonal" release won't help. A heel that has to "lift" before it releases won't help. Rotating heel pads with side lugs can't help.  Only KneeBinding's patented "PureLateral" heel release can help prevent most ACL skiing injuries.
