ABSTRACT:
An electronic safety ski binding comprises force sensors for generating electric signals in response to forces and/or torques acting on the skier's leg, and an electronic integrated circuit for processing the electrical signals and initiating the operation of the releasing mechanism of the binding by the generation of a triggering signal generated in response to the detection of the sensors of forces or torques which may endanger the safety of the skier. At least two force sensors are provided, as redundant protection against sensor failure for sensing one of the loads (forces and torques) which typically act on a skier's leg. Each of the two sensors is independently capable of detecting the same load so that the electronic circuit can generate, in response to the detection of a load which may endanger the skier, a triggering signal which initiates the operation of the releasing mechanism of the binding.
