It actually pops off my glasses really easily. Sometimes I inadvertently pop it off when putting on my helmet or something. Occasionally I think about taping it or otherwise making it harder to come off, but then remind myself I want it to pop off easily in case of a fall. Lots of people in our club have used them for years (a member used to make them before he passed away) with no injuries that I’m aware of. But definitely should be rigged to breakaway easily.
