I have seen at least 3 injuries to ankle's, knees, legs happening and heard about a couple more all due to loosing one foot and having the other locked in.

I'm not sure if there is one answer here. If loose straps means you knee "slips" into an unfortunate position then obviously that is not good. On the other hand if tight straps "lock" them in the wrong position that isn't good either.
When cycling loose is generally speaking better than tight.
Unfortunately the season is over here for me - I won't be able to get on the water again until April or something - so I can't test anything now.sergei Scotland wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 12:14 amThanks.Havre wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 10:07 amThat is different than feeling pain when riding normally.

In some respect one part of my question was:
Is it normal requirement (!) for TT footstraps to allow some rotation of feet inside the binding when changing direction?
Some people seem to think so.
For example this YouTube video at 7m 15 sec mark:

I think my front foot knee gets loaded uncomfortably because it needs a rotate into
a bit more duck to be comfortable while riding on a long tuck for example. Like the YouTube video suggest. So may be my problem is that I tightened both small velcro straps (ankle side velcto and toes side velcro) so I effectively have my foot at completely fixed duck.
Obviously I will also need to try more duck setup too next time I can get on the water. Could be that simple I guess.
