Skier Instructions
Practicing skiing, ski touring, ski mountaineering and other winter sports are
hazardous activities, which involve risks of injuries.
The ski and the off-piste skiing contain inevitable dangers for every skier. Your
PLUM binding is a part of the unity ski, binding and shoe. It is not possible to
plan in every situation if the binding is going to release or not. It does not still
release and in all the circumstances, what can cause serious injuries with
unpredictable consequences. When you go skiing, no guarantee of safety
against any accident of the skier can be given. It is true that bindings with
releasing system reduce considerably the risk of wounds at the level of legs
and feet, but do not cancel it completely. They do not reduce the risk of
wounds on other parts of the body.
For all of your mountain trips, ensure maximal safe conditions and verify the
following:
•
Select a trip in accordance with your skills, always skiing in a controlled
fashion according to your skills and your physical condition. Never
overestimate your skills.
•
Always check weather and snow conditions before leaving.
•
Always follow information and signs in zone you are skiing.
•
Do not go touring or skiing if you feel tired or in poor physical condition.
•
Do not go touring or skiing if you are taking medication, or under the
effects of alcohol or any other addictive product.
•
Always use the leashes provided with the bindings, by fastening them
around each leg. These leashes are meant to hold the skis back in case of
binding release, and let the ski slide free, so as not to lose them or have them
become an uncontrolled danger for anybody else.
•
Always protect your skis and bindings while travelling (in a ski bag for
example), in order to protect them from dust, sand, road salt or any other
abrasive substances.
•
Always double-check your bindings and your equipment before going
skiing/touring. Make sure no foreign material (dirt, gravel...) are found within
the mechanism, both on toe and heelpieces. Aforementioned foreign material
can affect the release mechanism of the binding if present in either toe or
heelpieces. If you have any doubt about the reliability of your equipment, get
it checked by a specialized dealer.
