Ski Boots and Bindings
Do you know that many movies used snowy season and environment as their background, but only few of them using skiing as their main action? Usually movies about ski are in the comedy genre, such as Ski Party (1965), Ski Patrol (1990), Ski School (1991), Out Cold (2001), Winter Break (2002), and Frostbite (2005).
The only movies that I know often using ski as an action sequences are James Bond (007) franchises, although not as a main theme, like we saw in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) that filled with dashing skiing scenes.
Maybe this was due to the fact that skiing, if not dangerous, is a hard sport to master.
Some of the movies that featured ski in it
Ski, refers to long, flat device worn on the feet designed to help the wearer slide smoothly over snow. To skiing, people use two ski boards that need to be attached to ski boots in both legs using a binding mechanism. Originally intended as an aid to travel in snowy regions, they are now mainly used for recreational and sporting purposes.
Although included as an extreme sport, with proper equipment, skiing risks can greatly reduced. Nowadays, the injury rates per 1000 visits to the slopes only range from 3 to 10 (0.3% – 1%). Knee injuries and broken bones are the most common injuries. That’s why the best equipment need to be wore, including helmet, goggle, boots, and binding.
Speaking of bindings, one of the best brands in market is Marker bindings. This company was founded in 1952 by skiing pioneer and innovator, Hannes Marker. They managed to introduced the first commercially successful releasable ski binding.
