Abstract
The invention is related to a retention element for a boot on a gliding board, especially an alpine ski, including a retention jaw, a body bearing the jaw, a jaw return mechanism including a return spring acting on a latching member so as to provide an elastic resistance force against the spacing of the jaw from its retention position, a mobile sensor adapted to at least locally support the sole of the boot, a connection between the sensor and the return mechanism. The connection is provided to increase the elastic resistance force that the return mechanism exerts on the jaw in response to an increase in the support force perceived by the sensor.
