Andrew breaks down the unique lateral release mechanics and how this binding can minimize forces on the tibia and ACL during skiing's most injury-prone scenarios. We also discuss why this tech is a potential game-changer for skiers of all levels, from beginners to aggressive experts.

Whether you’re coming back from a knee injury or looking to ski stronger and safer, this episode is packed with insights on why the Protector could be the future of bindings.

Tune in for a fascinating look at how technology is reshaping the slopes for safety and performance.
