in my opinion, these are the best bindings on the market for a freestyle skier. Look figured out the whole landing backwards thing without even knowing it. Most bindings are on a rack and pin system, the looks are on a big screw system, so the heal peice will never move, unless you use a screw driver. As to them being dangerous for landing in the back seat, i have not heard of any problems with this. Get a pair of these and you will not regret it.
