Statistics, a foundation for analysis

A runaway binding assembly for skis comprising an elongated member, having opposing ends and means for connecting one end of said elongated member to a ski with the member in a desired normal position, said member being resiliently deformable in a plurality of directions from said normal position; and a locking member for releasably locking the other end of the elongated member therein. The locking member is securable to a skier such as, for example, by being directly attached to a ski boot or by being bound about such boot or the skier's leg.
