Safety ski binding with magnetic release assisting means. A permanent magnet is fixed to one portion of a releaseable ski binding and an electromagnet is affixed to another portion thereof, which other portion moves away from the first portion during a release operation. Thus so long as the electromagnet is de-energized the permanent magnet operates thereagainst and holds the ski binding closed. However upon energization of the electromagnet, same is energized at such polarity as to repell the poles of the permanent magnet and the ski binding is permitted to open. Energization of the electromagnet may be by the conscious closure of a switch by the user, by remote control such as radio, or by sensing the bio-electro circuits of the leg muscles of the user when same are subjected to tension to initiate closure of such switch. |
