The stirrup-toe way I do, they most definitely break when/if you need them to. Lol. The way you do it sounds like a more sure fire way it would break (or at least that my foot would pop out in the event i get distracted and only remember to undo one band before getting off...) Haha doing that is EXACTLY how I know they WILL break.

I use the 2nd section of the band and flip it over my toe. When I get done running and forget to take the band off, my foot just slides out the back and I can get off with no issues. When the band gets older it pops when I slide my foot out dismounting and I just replace it.

Since she showed me that its worked really well. This is also how I do it.
