I agree 100% w/ Brody (although I'm not the level skier he is). I've been pleased w/ the release of my Reflex. Last month, first day of vaca, got in a bad postion, lean lock and forward over 2nd wake. Ended in a bad.... actually a very bad and violent, OTF. Reflex released as expected like a champ. Unfortunately my face smashed into the horseshoe on the ski...fortunately just below my nose. Any higher or lower and my nose or teeth would have been crushed.
Almost four weeks later, still haven't got full feeling back in front teeth. I'll take a smashed face over an achilles injury
any day.
