Doing a school presentation on safety precautions in sports, I chose skiing of course, and I can't quite think of a scenario where a double EJ would be beneficial. I'd like to hear your stories about when this has helped you, and the possible outcome had your skis not ejected
dropping my first proper cliff in BC I had way to much forward sauce and did a double EJ triple tomahawk, my back was hurting before but the centrifugal force of the tomahawk re-aligned my back. Never felt better.

Skied into a lightly covered riverbed once at like 40mph. Double ejected to scorpion, got the wind knocked out of me. If I hadn't released I'm confident I would've snapped either my skis or my legs.
Prime example is my little brother. Skis didn’t release like they were supposed to, his ski caught an edge and twisted sideways. Instead of double ejecting, he spiral fractured both of his tibia’s. Couldn’t walk for a while because both legs were in casts (he was 6)
Ejecting helps prevent Tibia/Fibula fractures (boot top) as well as femur fractures, hip fractures, etc. Look into those and youll have no shortage of content for your project.
Double ejected over the handlebars one time and while digging for my skis I found a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses in the snow. Yes, I turned them into lost and found. Ive lost my fair share of shades and I have always hoped they would be returned.
When designing mechanical systems, it's often critical to design where the system will fail, i.e. the failure mode. If you take the human body wearing ski boots and skis as a system, the bindings are designed as such. Although not perfect, bindings are designed to release at far lesser forces than what it takes to break a bone or tear a ligament. If they released at around or higher than those forces (as they do when someone's DINs are set too high), then in the event of a fall or crash, the failure mode will likely be on the human body.
Put that in your presentation and you'll be walking away with an A+. I guarantee it.
It could be a scenario where you almost ski into some rocks but then your tips get caught in some thick powder and you double eject over the rocks, ultimately saving yourself and your skis?
absolutely there are many times a double eject helped me
and i don't really understand the question. a double ejection isn't a plan of action decided on, it just means that each of your skis independently were caused to eject
