Better to eject from bindings than being locked in?

Just something Ive observed over the last 4 months of riding velcro bindings. So in the past Ive caught massive back edges and not come out the (regular lace) bindings where Ive had concussions.

Ive caught probably about 2 edges this year which I think in the past would have done some serious damage, dubsblind back edge is not pretty. Happened again last weekend and I fully ejected from the bindings as the velcro gives more than lace. Now in the past Im pretty sure it would have been at least a minor concussion or end of riding for the day, but this time just dusted myself off and kept riding.

Wondered if anyone else had a similar experience? I think theres something to be said for being able to come out of the bindings in a big crash.
