In the case of a binding release, the cable prevented the ski from running away down the hill, a task normally accomplished at that time with a separate strap tied around the skier's leg, and today with a ski brake. The spring would then automatically pull the ski back to the user and, if properly aligned, reconnect it. [2] [3] [5]
Burton Snowboards is a privately-owned snowboard manufacturing company that was founded by Jake Burton Carpenter in 1977. [2] [3] The company specializes in products aimed at snowboarders, such as snowboards, bindings, boots, outerwear, and accessories.
The Nevada was only the toe portion of the binding, and was used with a conventional cable binding for the heel. An updated version was introduced in 1962 with a new step-in heel binding, the Grand Prix. These basic mechanisms formed the basis for LOOK bindings for over 40 years, changing mainly in name and construction materials.

Bindings allow a certain amount of flexure of the boot position before they release under pressure during a fall.
