volkl powerswitch?

Twice now the switch on 1 ski(I haven't inside edged these skis so don't know if it's the same ski but I'm thinking it might be) turned to soft...on it's own or maybe bumped in liftline. Is this something that just happens with these skis or are mine broken?

Update:

no problem with the binding...it's the switch on the tail of the ski that changes the ski from soft to stiff

    I don't think jim knows anything about those skis

    the swittch should be too stiff to change by being bumped by another ski maybe one of the springs might be broken

    maybe one of your buddies is playing a prank on you. did you leave your skis out of sight on a rack while you were in the chalet...man the price of those babies I'd sleep with them. next trime you go skiing let me know and if you forget to lock them I'll have new skis haha!

    Are you certain that the switch was locked down each time, if not also check for snow in the binding, if all of this is OK, then take your skiis and boots into a quality shop and have them checked for compliance with the factory specifications.
