Abstract
A safety ski binding with a release mechanism that normally retains the ski boot against a resistance; when exceeding this resistance, the release mechanism permits a rotation of the boot about an axis of rotation forwardly by an amount sufficient for the release of the boot; the axis of rotation is a cross-axis arranged between the toe and heel area as well as between the running surface of the ski and the knee joint and the rotary movement of the boot starts with a predetermined torque in relation to this cross axis which corresponds to a bending moment that is just barely still tolerable by the lower part of the leg.
