"Hi! This is Dave Smith with Hillcrest Ski and Sports in Gresham, Oregon on behalf of Expert Village. In this tutorial we will cover beginning skiing. In this clip we'll cover what to do when you've experienced a fall where you lose one or both skis. Ski bindings are designed to release when you take a bad fall in order to protect your knees and the rest of your body from further injury as you tumble. If you lose a ski or both skis the first thing is to stand up and quickly collect your equipment so that it doesn't get in the way of other skiers. Once you have your skis you need to check and make sure that your binding is in a position where it's ready to receive your boot again. Specifically, you need to look at the heel piece and make sure that the back of the heel piece is down so that you can step into your binding. It's easiest to do this in a relatively flat spot. So, if you have one near you move to that spot. If you need to do it on a slope, it's easiest to step into your binding when the ski is on your uphill leg."

The first and most fundamental thing is never hike alone. There are too many situations, especially as an unexperienced hiker, where you may find yourself without anyone to help you. So the buddy system works and applies very much in hiking.
