Bindings allow a certain amount of flexure of the boot position before they release under pressure during a fall. [9] Each binding is set for a DIN value that determines how readily it will release in case of a fall, based on the parameters of the skier's height, weight, age, and ability (rated from one for beginner to three for an advanced skier).
Marker ski bindings from the 1990s to 2000s. In 2007, Marker unveiled a new freeski binding system called the Duke. Complemented by the Jester, the new system redefined the performance parameters for freeride bindings. In 2008, the company released two new bindings, the Baron and the Griffon, that are also based on the Duke system.
[2] [3] [5] The system, like all plate bindings, had a number of disadvantages. For one, snow would stick to the metal parts, which made it difficult to re-attach the ski. The system also had the potential to snatch clothing and fingers as it re-connected. [1] It also had a reputation for easily breaking. [6]
During 1969, the Hansons were building prototypes of their new boot design, and in June 1970, they formed Hanson Industries to produce them. [2] The boot was moulded in two halves, front and back, both of relatively simple shaping that made them very easy to remove from the moulds, at least compared to traditional front-entry designs like Lange where the shaping results in complex moulds.
Cable bindings, also known as Kandahar bindings or bear-trap bindings, are a type of ski bindings widely used through the middle of the 20th century. It was invented and brand-named after the Kandahar Ski Club in 1929 by ski racer and engineer Guido Reuge. [1] They were replaced in alpine skiing by heel-and-toe "safety bindings" in the mid-1960s.

A binder or binding agent is any material or substance that holds or draws other materials together to form a cohesive whole mechanically, chemically, by adhesion or cohesion. More narrowly, binders are liquid or dough-like substances that harden by a chemical or physical process and bind fibres, filler powder and other particles added into it.
