    It actually works well on a up right Rossi dildoe. Pull up the plunger, hook the brackets under the ski base, place the plunger in the ski tip hole on the heel of the binding and start squeezing the trigger, you can easily release the binding in a controlled manner.
    You just need to line the tool up the same angle you'd push your pole down.

    Lazers could be used, but they are only good for straight line. A good old fashion rope is the best tool to set the fences straight.
    I worked in Beaver Creek for 4 years, and lasers are not used. A-Nets location and angles are determined by the prefixed towers that hold them. And most things on the race course are designed in a curve to dissipate impact force.
    My buddies in Calgary used a survey tripod to get thing laser straight this weekend at the Moguls World Cup.

    I’ve had to purchase it a few times, but have never personally had to use it.

    Do you have a makers name or can you tell me the supplier as I could really do wth one of those? I do quite a bit of sit-ski work and releasing an 18/20 din heel is a bitch as the seat is in the way etc.

    Another one of the many tools we wish to never have to use.

    They need one of those for the medical shack, but that peels boots wide open.
    Peeling them off with a tib+fib right sucks.

    I have to give the medical staff credit, they did a good job on mine - the thing that hurt the worst was on the calf side of my leg. I have no idea why, but that SERIOUSLY hurt. (But they were good and quick, so it was just for a sec.)

    It wasn't a racing injury, BTW.
    I was just the first of many at MHM in 2015.
    First Monday of the season if you can believe it.

    when I did mine the guy in the patrol shack said "do you want us to take your boot off ? They will cut it off at the hospitol " so I let them take my T-1 off and it didnt hurt too bad

    I didn't get quite that explanation - but that was the gist. (It's coming off one way or the other...)
    I thought the cost savings, of not buying new boots, was worth the pain.

    [But hey, you could have always just aquaseal'd it back together, with some dryer sheets! ]

    When I ruptured my Achilles tendon last season I had the epiphany to disassemble my boot to get it off my foot.

    Let me take the sting out a bit.
    The AQS thread is "the bomb." Seriously.
    My jacket, my shell pants, and ski pack all have patches inspired by the AQS thread. (Though no dryer sheets, sadly.)

    But all that said, that joke was just too good to pass up!
