very true....unless you do what we call a "stephan roll" and roll over onto your stomach to get out. I love my flows though, I strap in standing up, way faster than my friend's burton missions

"stephan roll" would be fine if your not hurt. In my case i dislocated my shoulder and knocked the wind out of me so rolling over was kinda out of the question hahah.

I guess I'm going to be the one person in this thread to say that I hate Flow bindings. I've owned 2 pairs and both have broken after a few days of riding. I owned 2008 Flow Teams and a pair of carbon fiber ones I bought in 2003. Both broke after 2 or 3 days of riding.

They are awesome till they break...Which from my experience and many other reviews, it seems they always do. And if for some reason you have to strap in on steep terrain or in powder, it's pretty tricky. I wish my Teams hadn't broken cause I did like them...Minus the stupid double screw thing they use.
