Safety stirrup.

摘要

A safety stirrup (10) which has two arms (12, 13) arranged in a generally parallel co-extensive spaced relationship, a foot engaging base (20) attached to one of the arms (13) and supported by the other arm (12), and wherein the base (20) and one of the arms (13) are pivotally attached to the other arm (12) so that upon a rider being dislodged from the saddle, the rider's foot will apply a transverse force to the stirrup (10) thereby causing pivoting of the base (20) to eject the rider's foot from within the stirrup (10).
