When I first got my new Transits, I snugged them down real tight. These were my first lace up bindings. I did a w2w jump, caught the front edge, and did the hardest faceplant I have ever done. Just about got knocked out. The problem was that I did not come out of either binding since they were so tight. I go yanked in the process, and ended up tearing an abdominal muscle. As you can see in the pic, it was not a good time!! I keep them somewhat snug now, but loose enough so that I come out when I need to.
