Big News. A major European binding company validated Howell SkiBindings — “lateral-heel release might reduce ACL injury”. They will have lateral-heel-release in their future bindings, too.
Thank you. This validates what we have claimed for years.
Howell SkiBindings have ACL-friendly lateral-heel release.
ACL-friendly lateral-heel-release bindings are now a category of alpine ski-bindings. This is not rotational release — it’s lateral-heel release.
But only Howell SkiBindings have lateral-heel-release that actively blocks pre-release.
How? A special knuckle-joint in Howell SkiBindings actively re-centers the heel, laterally, during aggressive but innocuous skiing. No other binding with lateral-heel release actively blocks pre-release.
Everyone wants ACL-friendly skiing.
No one wants pre-release.
Only Howell SkiBindings provide powerful edge-control, too.
How? Super-wide contact points plus a shortened forward-fulcrum. ‘Massive edge-control without effecting necessary-release or anti-pre-release.
Powerful edge-control.
Powerful anti-pre-release.
ACL-friendly.
Unlike all other bindings.
How can Howell SkiBindings do this?
Howell SkiBindings, Inc. is operated by Rick Howell — developer of 5 worldwide #1-selling sports products, including #1-selling ski-bindings for a major French ski-binding company — and being a product manager of a #1-rated German ski-binding company for 8-years. During the last 20 years, Rick Howell has conducted extraordinary scientific biomechanical research (see footnote 1) to prove and refine the ACL-friendly revolution provided in soon forthcoming Howell SkiBindings.
It is also biomechanically-plausible that non-pre-releasing, ACL-friendly, lateral-heel release in Howell SkiBindings can also provide friendly skiing for MCL, meniscus and tibial-plateau integrity, too.
GOOD NEWS.
