Knee injuries account for a majority of all ski injuries. If you have ever twisted you knee badly you will now just how painful that can be. It stops more people from skiing than any other injury. The medical term is ACL injury, that is a rupture or tear to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament. It only takes about 9 months of intense physiotherapy to get back on the skies. So it comes as releaf to the medical insurance companies that a new patented design in ski bindings is set to vastly reduce the number injured.

Kneebinding Inc. have introduced a binding that releases in the normal way, ie. heel lift or laternal rotation of the toe but also releases with lateral rotation of the heal. This sideways movement will prevent the knee joint having to do the rotation which if you want to try on your own leg you will find doesn't like it. The leg rotation happens at the hip and ankle not the knee. Now with modern ski boots the ankle is fixed leaving the knee and hip vulnerable to injury.

The Kneebinding is a marval of engineering that can be seen on the company web site in 3D imagery. Normally with such a binding you may expect that it will suffer from pre-release but this one has been designed only to release when needed to. Get yours while stocks last and don't be one of the estimated 70,000 skiers who will suffer ACL injury this season.
