ABSTRACT:
A pair of claws is held together in retracted position on top of the ski by a detachable spring clip on a safety strap connected to the ski boot. In an uncontrolled fall, the ski bindings release the ski which then exerts a strong pull on the safety strap, detaching the clip from the claws. The claws then swing apart laterally over the edges of the ski and into braking positions underneath the ski to prevent sliding of the release ski on the snow. Upon release of the ski bindings in a mild fall, or accidentally while riding up the ski slope on a chair lift, the released ski exerts a lesser pull on the safety strap which is insufficient to detach the spring clip, causing the ski to remain tethered to the skier's leg.
