Yeah it's the twist at the back to release the rear that's sticking. It's exactly the same problem as shown by the picture on the Wildsnow link in my OP. I'm sure they will probably release safely in the event of a crash but I worry that in the long term using such force to get out of my binding on a regular basis will cause damage to either the binding or the boot (or both...)
Reassured by the number of positive replies so far. I wonder if this might be something to do with the putting together of the binding rather than an issue with the binding itself (I have emailled photos to the workshop that put it together).
Thanks for the replies so far
