Mr. Sedgewick has a unique ability to translate technical analysis into plain language. Working directly with engineers and accident reconstructionists, he gets quickly to the heart of each case, and finds the most compelling liability argument suited to the case.
Exploring how elasticity is a factor in alpine ski binding design and performance is not easy because there is very little written about it, and because few people outside of the ski binding manufacturers have studied it. The very concept of elasticity in ski bindings is unknown to most skiers. To understand it, you must [...]
Alpine ski binding technology has improved steadily since downhill skiing became a recreational sport after World War II. Bindings quickly went from “bear trap” designs that did not release at all to “safety bindings” that released when the skier fell forward, to bindings intended to release with twisting to the left and right and falls [...]
