ABSTRACT:
A snowboard release binding consists of a boot holding plate which has vallate indents to engage a nipple in the release unit. As the boot holding plate is placed over the release unit, the nipple is depressed which allows the boot holding plate to be secured to the release unit. When the boot holding plate is twisted, turned or lifted in any of twelve angles of release, wall extensions around the vallate indent force the nipple to retract, thus freeing the rider's first foot from the snowboard. The second foot is similarly and instantaneously released, preventing injury by releasing the feet before damaging stresses can be applied to the legs and structure of a rider. A ski brake is also developed to prevent further travel of the snowboard, and when used in conjunction with a self-containing strap, will prevent injury to the rider and other skiers or snowboarders in the immediate area.
