Abstract
An inertia compensated step-in type ski binding for releasably securing a ski boot to a ski. The binding releases the boot from the ski when the lateral force imposed on the binding by the toe of the ski boot reaches a predetermined level. The ski binding includes a mass which function to generate a force within the binding which is equal to and opposite the force generated by the lateral acceleration of the boot mass so as to eliminate lateral acceleration as a factor in release.
