Quick Release (but slip-resistant) Camera Strap

Digital SLR photography has freed us from the middle-man, rolls of film and blind, educated-guess type shooting. One old problem remains - how to get the strap off (and on again quickly) to suit the situation? Here's one person's solution from Flickr.com "How I secure my quick release strap to prevent camera breakage. All it takes is one little pinch and SMASH, and scratch one SLR camera. Slip a nylon cable tie through the QR buckle and cinch it up tight. No accidental camera breakage." Yes..but it's quick-release-no-more! What we need is a connector that requires more than a slight pinch to break free, but also slips back together without excessive, one-handed pressure.
