Someone uses this kind of footstaps ?

Thank you for your opinion
Ive used footstraps foiling for many years, and only once have I had any sort of an ankle injury (very unique situation where I had to avoid another rider and fell in a very awkard way). I feel like the injury concerns around footstraps are way overblown. Once you ride with straps you find that your feet naturally come out of them when you fall.
I think that a releasable footstrap like this is unnecessary, and having any sort of unexpected release (pumping, carving or airing) could actually be much more dangerous than a normal footstrap.
When doing jumps, ejectable footstraps are obviously not suitable.
Many falls are forward-facing and without trauma.
But it is falls backwards with the foot still strapped in that can cause trauma.
This system developed by Ventores seems better to me than what Ion offers with their safety footstraps. Has anyone ever used it?
