I'm pretty sure the CX-6 and the PP-396 pedals have a higher tension range
(12-18 NM) than most of the other Look pedals (9-12 NM).
Make sure the neutral cleat position is adjusted so that minimum outward
foot rotation is required to release. And make sure the tension really is
set at minimum. There are several detents in the tension adjustment. You
should be able to turn the screw several complete rotations.
With my PP-396s, I found that the release tension decreased over time. It
was a little uncomfortable at first, but nowhere near causing a crash.
