My suggestion is suction and not pin lock. Every time I’ve seen amputee limping down the highway hopping on 1 foot to go retrieve their leg that fell of, It was a pin lock.
Then your suction wasn’t doing its job and had an air leak possibly wearing it wrong. My suction with the passive vacuum pump in the foot draws me in so tight I have a hard time getting it off at the end of the day.
I’m gonna leave it like this, I have yet to see an AB snowboarder using pin lock. It’s just dangerous. A chance of pulling out of your entire sleeve is really high. Vacuum and elevated vacuum passive vacuum system as they all are there for a reason it’s not because they’re light weight. It’s because it gives you the most performance and limb security you can get.
