Sporting board with two boot bindings

Sporting board comprising:

• a board member having a longitudinal direction and two boot bindings for securing a skier's boots to the board member, each boot binding having a respective longitudinal axis arranged at a considerable angle to said longitudinal direction of said board member, each said boot binding comprising an associated base plate secured to the board and a release plate associated with a respective one of said skier's boots, said base plates being longitudinally spaced along said board member, each said release plate being arranged above the associated base plate in alignment therewith, a latching mechanism located between each said release plate and the associated base plate to secure each said release plate to the associated base plate and to release each said release plate from the associated base plate when a predetermined torsional load is exerted on said release plate relative to the associated base plate and when a predetermined tilting load is exerted on said release plate relative to said base plate, a common actuation and safety release mechanism for both said latch mechanisms, respective coupling means for coupling each said latch mechanism to said common actuation and safety release mechanism, said common actuation and safety release mechanism being releasable by hand and releasable in response to an excessive force applied to it by either of said latch mechanisms via the respectively associated coupling means, wherein said common actuation and safety release mechanism comprises a single spring means, and said coupling means are connected in force-sharing manner to said spring means, whereby release of said common actuation and safety release mechanism results in the simultaneous release of said release plates from the associated base plates.
