that's not that out of the ordinary. my bro ran into a rail with his 4frnt msps and they broke the same way, also this year at my local hill a kid skied at a wall ride and suffered a similar break: one ski went under the wall and it snapped right in front of the binding. I guess if you run into a rail with a good amount of speed soemthing has to give, and the rail is not going to move.
