ABSTRACT:
A ski brake preventing free flight of the ski upon its inadvertent release from the ski boot comprises a U-shaped stirrup whose shanks straddle the longitudinal edges of the ski and are provided with braking elements and a pair of torsion rods connected to the shanks and received in a mounting retaining the surface of the stirrup on the ski. When the bight of the U-shaped member is held against the ski by the ski boot directly or a plate of the ski binding, the brake elements are swung upwardly to the upper surface of the ski and lie parallel to the longitudinal edges. When the stirrup is released the resilient action of the torsion rods rotates the stirrup into a position in which the brake elements project symmetrically transverse to the longitudinal edges and below the bottom surface of the ski to prevent free flight.
