Abstract: A safety ski binding having an automatic heel release binding which releases when the skier suffers a frontal fall and a front jaw or front release binding which releases when the skier experiences a torsional fall. The automatic heel release binding is secured to the rear end of a release plate connected by means of a pivot pin with the ski and freely pivotable to both sides. The front jaw is anchored in spaced relationship forwardly of the release plate at the ski. At the region of its front end the release plate is provided with two, oppositely situated, substantially L-shaped entrainment elements, attached by one leg to be pivotable about a related shaft at the release plate. In the normal skiing position of the release plate the entrainment elements are retained in their effectual position, by bearing upon the ski, and the other leg of each entrainment element protrudes upwardly from the release plate and bears snugly at the ski boot which has been placed into the safety ski binding.
