If there were such a thing then someone with the reflexes of Ruben would have had time to activate it in this situation if it could be done manually...
Wonder how he released the QR accidentally? Or could it be that pesky new click-in loop malfunctioning...?
I was going to make the joke that the release solution already exists: It is called footstraps!
But I know there is some divided opinion on the safety of boots vs straps, so I did not say anything.
Plus, some smartass would mention strapless as the ultimate solution.
As to your comment about the QR, I am wondering the same thing. I really hope Ruben is not covering for Ozone and legitimately thinks he made a mistake. If it was a QR defect then the comment is inexcusable and a coverup. If the QR is not defective but simply easy to trigger, I am not sure I would blame Ozone but maybe the AFNOR standard which I think specifies a MAXIMUM push force required under load, but not a MINIMUM. Not sure about the upcoming ISO standard. If it is legitimate, then it may simply be bad luck on Ruben’s part.
Luckily I think the comment is probably legitimate,
Ozone has called themselves out on release defects before. I am still going to take a closer look at my QR after this though!
