Jeff Campbell: Alpine Touring Equipment: Retention and Release in the Backcountry

From the uTube site

Jeff Campbell, PhD Student, University of Washington

The purpose of this presentation is to differentiate performance of alpine ski boot-binding systems from AT ski boot-binding systems, and educate the consumer on the ability of AT equipment to protect them from lower leg injuries. Supporting data from laboratory and on-snow measurements of ski bindings and skiers will be given.
