Ordhan, Maybe , this belongs in bend ze knees .... but as an UN-qualified, NON-expert skier I am amazed at your conclusions ... if your anaysis were correct every 'blader-in-christendom' would break their legs every time they fell .... and Bode Miller et al would be made to ski longer skis ..
'Higher Dins' can not 'contribute' to an accident but they 'must' have a subsequent effect ie injury ???

Curly, Foxy is correct. What's your boot sole length?

spyderjon, will correct me if I'm wrong, and I won't mind a bit, but.............
There will always be debate on din settings, bindings, pre-release, won't release, length of skis, type of skier...........when it comes down to it, these things will change according to your age and ability.
You will learn who is knowledgeable and who you should trust with your ski equipment.
I would trust my legs and knees to spyderjon.
I am a lightweight, but I ski like a big girl. I like bumps and steeps. I have skied for 20something years, and I have my din at 7. some say its too high, but I have a tendency to do stupid stuff where I don't want a Pre-release issue.
IMO you are on skis too short and your din was too high. I would put you on something in the mid to hight 160's in length and a din of 6.
The only reason to up your din is if you're getting more aggressive and you don't want to risk a pre-release.
Okay spyderjon, tell me where I'm wrong...........I love it when I can be devils advocate.
