G3 Zed Heel Turret Failure
Yesterday, I broke both heel turrets on the same turn at moderate speed. If you believe my Suunto watch, I was going 14.5 MPH. Not exactly charging. I did hop maybe half a foot to clear a small water bar. I bet it was less than that as my vertical is terribly low. No rebounding title for me this season.
The accident/breakage occurred 4 minutes and 36 seconds into the bindings’ first descent ever. Brand new.Attachment 256159Attachment 256160Attachment 256161Attachment 256162Attachment 256163Attachment 256164Attachment 256165
I’d skinned 2 miles and 1,900’ without incident before starting the downhill.
Mounted at a good shop. Inspected by the head tech at another shop. That seems legit. No?
I followed the transition from tour to ski mode instructions from G3 so I can’t see the user error there. Am I missing something?

G3 Zed Heel Turret Failure
Thank you for posting. I know we were all very interested about it last night.
Again, at least you were not injured. I am sure this will all be taken care of by you shop. I personally would ask for store credit and go with a different company/set up. Lots of good choices, with a double failure like that....go in a different direction.
