You can purchase break-away neck cords at sporting good stores. Mine was
$7. I use it at work where there are moving conveyer belts and things on
the belts. Personally I adjusted the strap so the break away feature was
not in the area of the neck but down near my I.D. tag. That way if it needs
to break away it's quicker than if it's at the back of my neck. The
breakaway feature is cool and reconnects easily.
