Title: Ski-pole grip having releasable strap attachment

Abstract: A ski-pole grip has a strap which is releasable therefrom in response to excessive forces acting in the direction of the pole axis. Thus the pole itself can be released from the skier in the event of a fall to reduce the chances of injury or damage. The grip has a grip portion having an end face to which one end of the strap is secured. The other end of the strap is secured to a cap portion which is adapted to cover the end face. Means are provided on the end face and in the cap portion to effect a releasable snap-on connection therebetween, there being a usable loop formed in the strap when connection is effected and the loop being opened to disengage the strap from the skier's wrist when the connection is broken.
