Abstract
A retention and release mechanism and ski boot for mitigating injury to a skier when the rearward loads, potentially injurious to the user, are imparted to the boot. The mechanism includes a first linkage having an end coupled to a first rigid boot portion, and a second linkage coupled to the first linkage through a pin disposed in a slot in the first linkage. The mechanism provides stable orientation of the first portion to the second portion in a 'ski' position, and allows rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a 'release' position, the 'release' position being established upon imposition of a predetermined level of rearward force on the boot.
