Bill,

Over the years, I have too had near misses 
from bungee errant cords...

I am familiar with buckles that have lateral 
prongs that snap into place, and disengage 
with finger pressure on the sides.

Is this what you mean by a "fast buckle"?

If not, what is this creature that you admire?  
Is there another name for it, and what catalog 
could I find it in?  

Thanks for any light you can shed on this,
