Did my rossi bindings break today?

ok so today i was skiing (no shit eh!?) and after falling on a 180 i went to grab my ski and my binding was all fucked up.

i have the rossi scratch bindings and my toe piece was like twisted. the part that keeps the boot in twisted vertically 45degrees... it eventually snapped back, but i'm just wondering if they are designed to spin around like that or if they are slightly broken.

doesn't seam like they should have done that, but they were fine for the rest of the day so i don't know.

i find it odd, why make it so it can jam in a non-skiable way? i guess that's what kicking is for.

this is the first time in my skiing life on rossi bindings... i miss the *click* of normal heal pieces... hrmm
