Ski bindings are simply the efficient link between your skis and boots. For your protection, they usually release you from your ski once the exerted pressure on them exceeds the discharge setting. With this, the moving parts of the ski binding are more susceptible to wear, resulting in poor connections between the skis and their skier. Well, the answer is definitely yes. However, you have to ensure that they are properly tested to see if they still have the ability to release at the appropriate pressure.
