The spring-loaded arm locks into the base of the main frame meaning that when under maximum pressure, such as landing over a fence, the rider's weight is spread evenly across the stirrup, preventing the outside from dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, the arm releases allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup. The stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing, meaning enough resistance to stop it from opening unintentionally, but will release when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's important to note that no stirrup of this design (with a quick-release arm) is 100% guaranteed to open in the event of a fall. There are several factors, including a fall of the horse, a loose girth causing the saddle to slip, or a slow or unusual angle of exit that may not generate enough lateral force to open the release arm. This is very rare but users must be aware that no stirrup is completely foolproof in every eventuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is currently no exact international safety standard governing this category of product, and these stirrups are not classified as a safety device. Their use does not remove or replace the need for safe riding practices, approved footwear and correct fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/788246360?h=9780045de2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LeMieux","offers":[{"title":"Aluminium","offer_id":54794902438265,"sku":"IT06375001","price":169.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Auburn","offer_id":56211950338425,"sku":"IT06374001","price":159.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":55101134406009,"sku":"IT06373001","price":169.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Aluminium","offer_id":56211950371193,"sku":"IT06376001","price":169.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon","offer_id":54794902503801,"sku":"IT06377001","price":169.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold","offer_id":54794902569337,"sku":"IT06381001","price":169.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon\/Silver","offer_id":56211950403961,"sku":"IT06378001","price":159.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":56222690443641,"sku":"IT06380001","price":159.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/3325\/6213\/files\/lemieux-vector-control-safety-stirrups-at-saddles-direct-973944.webp?v=1732023922","url":"https:\/\/saddlesdirect.co.uk\/products\/lemieux-vector-control-stirrups","provider":"Saddles Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
