In my never humble opinion, it would not be difficult to redesign the
common "quick release buckle" so that it would release under tension or
possibly when an added release cord and D-ring is pulled.


As well as the harpoon style buckle that requires two fingers to
reelease, there is a press button (tab actually) style of buckle that has
been around as log as the harpoon style. caveat, i usualy only see them
in sewing shops.


I think I know what you mean, but I can't find a photo with Google
Image search. I also seem to recall they only came in a rather large
1" webbing size, not the typical 5/8" helmet chin strap webbing size.
1" webbing is too wide for a chin strap.


I lied. I just found a center button quick release buckle:

It's for 3/8" webbing. I found some for 3/4" and 1", but not 5/8".
See first to rows of products below:

Still, nothing for 5/8" webbing.
