I bought knee bindings looking for a safer binding they work great but where not ment for park and eventually literally exploded. So before I buy new binding i was hoping some one could review and explain the look pivot binding. Thanks :)

Officially not really. However, I think that they've saved my knees a number of times. And theyll never explode on ya

my bros shop he works at every single rider has pivots on every ski except if its a touring ski, they are durable and will not necessarily save your knees much better but will only release when they actually need to. although i believe they save knees

They are no safer then any other binding out other the knee binding. Durability is a bit iffy too the brakes are horrible to replace and the toe on the 140 is far inferior to the 180.

If you want the best all round binding currently I would look at the sth2 13/16.
