ABSTRACT:
A ski pole having a detachable coil spring disposed substantially centrally whereby a top portion and bottom portion of the ski pole may be detachably connected to the ends of the coil spring. The coil spring is of such stiffness as not to flex during normal operation of the pole during skiing. However, on application of abnormal bending force to the pole, the coil spring will flex sufficiently to prevent permanent bending or breaking of the pole. The handle of the ski pole may also be detachably secured to one end of a stiff coil spring, the opposite end of which coil spring is detachably secured to the top end of the ski pole so that the spring will not flex during normal operation but will flex upon abnormal bending applied to the handle to prevent hand injury to the skier.
