Abstract
A safety ski binding, preferably for engaging the front of a ski boot. The binding includes an elastic energization mechanism for the jaw of the binding and a separate arrangement for compensating for different sole thicknesses. In a specific embodiment, the binding is formed as a monobloc and includes a deformation zone to automatically accommodate soles of different thicknesses. The binding also includes a front fall sensor and a rear fall compensating mechanism to further compress the spring of the energization mechanism to lessen the amount of force required to release the boot during front and rear falls.
