Forward Pressure Indicator?

In an earlier thread someone mentioned the forward pressure indicator. I
hadn't actually ever heard of it, but I did some research.

I looked at my son's skis. According to the indicator, the heel is set too
far back. I moved it forward a notch and the indicator is now satisfied.

However, my son says that they released properly every time he fell, and
haven't released when they shouldn't. He likes them the way they were and
wants me to change them back.
The DIN is set at 3.5, the lowest setting available.

What is the practical effect of having the heel back too far? Do they
release too easy, too hard, or just erratically?

My usual indication that I am applying too much forward pressure is when the
ewe falls off the cliff.

I believe in sharing my knowledge about love. For I am the Prophet of Vail,
and I have a sacred mission.

Vail: where sheep push back without having to be led to a cliff, because
there are no cliffs to be had.

Please, Please PLEASE have the binding/boot combo certified by a real
technician. Make sure they put it on the boot torque machine--or whatever
they call it to ensure that the boot and binding system are working together
properly and the binding releases as it should. Please don't risk your
son's knees any further.

Picked up a pair of rockers on this trip, didn't want to ruin my good GS
boards. Granted, a cherry pair of Volkl P50's. Adjusted them
myself....then thought again and took them in for a tune and a binder check.
I like to follow my own advice.
