Which standards ?
Ski bindings settings are subject to ISO international standards and to AFNOR recommendations.
Why standards ?
Standards exist to protect both users and professionnals.
They were set by manufacturers and professionals to obtain maximum security level, and are based on specific criterias (age, gender, weight, ski boot length, skier ability, physical condition and skiing style).
These regulations are implemented internationally. Standards will be use by judges as a point of reference in case of lawsuits to attribute the responsibility of those who litigate.
The scope of the standard is wider that what one imagines. Two skiers with the same weight and the same boot length can have totally different setting figures in respect with the standards. Skimeter gives the exact and personalized Z value.
How to process to set correctly ski bindings?
Manually:
The skiman asks the skier
his/her age, weight, ski boot length, skier ability, physical condition
and skiing style.
To respect the standards, the skiman must use the double entry table with
the skier’s weight and boot length.
The result must then be adjusted
with the skier’s age, ability, physical condition and skiing style.
This process is long and isn’t accurate; It mainly depends on the
skiman interpretation of the skier’s characteristics. .
With Skimeter :
The skier steps on skimeter,
he chooses his parameters while the machine will weigh him and take his
boot’s length. Skimeter will automatically give the binding setting
on the screen and on a ticket.
Skimeter offers a simple and quick ski binding setting.
