ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the invention, a kinematically correct safety release binding is provided. Specifically, the invention provides a safety release binding for attachment of a foot of a user to a riding device; comprising a first attachment unit formed to be secured to the foot of the user, with said first attachment unit comprising a substantially plane surface throughout a central portion thereof, a support surface at each end thereof, and a first set of cohesive interlocking elements secured to the plane surface at the central portion thereof; a second attachment unit secured to the riding device and formed with substantially plane surface having a second set of cohesive interlocking elements secured thereon; and a pair of support pads disposed between the riding device and the support surfaces of the first attachment unit when the units are in operative position; said support pads being formed to provide the spacing between the first and second set of interlocking elements, whereby controlling forces are transferred between the foot of the user and the riding device and an excessive force causes disengagement of the interlocking elements of the attachment units and release of the user's foot from the riding device. In addition, a novel brake mechanism is provided in a preferred form of the invention.
