so do you think this is just a bad fall and everything went wrong or should i not get the elements again? Anyone?

I have them on my trip. They've released after my 360 attempt just fine (I got to a 270). Yeah, it was a bad fall with everything not going your way. Did you check to see if the screws were tight?

I've released on hard crashed just fine. Stayed in on small crashes. I have had no problems with my Elements. I think the key is to not overtighten your screws. I keep them snug.
