Howell Test Fixture (sm)
Optional for ACL-friendly Howell SkiBindings — but suggested. Available now. Howell Test Fixture (sm) can be used to help demonstrate and calibrate the unique lateral-heel settings for ACL-friendly Howell SkiBindings. (( Lateral-heel release is not rotational: no boot can pass laterally thru the side-lugs of a turntable / pivot heel. This is why turntable / pivot heels can cause ACL, MCL, meniscus, and tibial-plateau injury. Diametrically the opposite, lateral-heel release — together with the special lateral-heel settings that are calibrated, in-part, through the use of the Howell Test Fixture — can provide ACL, MCL, meniscus, and tibial-plateau friendly skiing.
