I am one of those pours that rent skis. Last time I was skiing the rental counter tech was setting up my bindings and asked me what level skier I was. I consider myself advanced and I told him that. Then I asked him to set the bindings up for an intermediate, then give the bindings a half turn loose for me.

I prefer to lose a ski then my knee. The last time out skiing, on the first run of the morning I caught a grooming groove wrong and it popped my right ski right off my boot. While aggravating, I was OK with that, I will take that any day over a wrecked knee.
