As a skier for the last seven years, I have set my Tyrolia 350 diagonals
like this.  
At the beginning of the season I set them on the beginning of the 2
setting. (the recommended for my size and weight is middle of the 3)
While standing in my living room, I find that I can pull out of them 
in any direction with a medium effort.  This insures that I'll end up 
chasing a ski a few yards instead of breaking something.  (Preferable
in my book anyday!)  When I regain my confidence and "ski legs" I SLOWLY
readjust the bindings as I find myself comming out of them a little too often.
This of course requires keeping a screwdriver in the car, (or whatever
else may be required in your case) and requires taking a little time
out of your ski day.  But in the long run, the end results have kept me
skiing happily for seven years and I hope this will be the eighth!>
as a side note, Don't go past the reccomended settings even if you 
are comming out on every run!(you need new bindings for you style of skiing)
and also the last 2 years, I didn't even get to the "Recommended" setting
before ski-season was over.

						Happy schussing!
