I agree but it is better knowing that they did. Plastic bindings are like lightbulbs, one moment they work, the next the rear spring is sitting half way across the parking lot. Cue up @crgildart with his binding blowing the spring video.
This is actually very good information. All manufacturers who'll be required to put this on their list. With the Indemnification list usually not posted until October, it is good information to have in August/September when people are early shopping swaps.
And they don't make MY cut. I am sure I have something for you..or @JEFF does.
They're on my old skis. Only used a few times. Of course.
I don't think the brakes will be wide enough anyway.
I don't want these on the new skis. Just was hoping they were still serviceable on the P50s, just in case. I guess they'd almost qualify for retro day.
I think there are quite a few bindings that are no longer on the list that I would be 100% confident in skiing. Many old Look Z-toe Pivots along with most Salomon Equipe/Race bindings. Funny story,..actually two. A few years back, my then Blizzard rep gave me a pair of the coming year Bonafides. I mounted up some Salomon 997E's that I had that were brand new. With these bindings, you could replace the older "Driver Plus" AFD with the more modern wile platform one of to the new (at the time) metal based Sth16. He was kinda perturbed that I had a brand new ski with a 20 year old binding on it. Not too soon after I ran into another one of his athlete, not to name manes but lets just say he produced a movie called Gnar. HE had some Cochises with a similar set up but might have been some 916's, I forget. Then at the end of the season we were at A-Basin and this coach in the lifeline looks at my set up, I look at his and he also had an old pair of metal Sallies on some of the following years Bones. That coach is @Muleski's son.
