I guess this really isn't a survival topic but it is a good idea if you have kids or perhaps even for yourself.

There have been a few cases of kids who have been strangled by their scarves, either by it getting caught on playground equipment or in one case , it was a 5 year old when the family's pet dog started pulling on the scarf.

I saw these on a news program, the web-site isn't that good but the idea is that the scarf is too short to strangle you and it secures with velcro , too much pulling on the scarf and it will release.

I am thinking a good idea in the field too.

I have never been a big fan of a scarf so I wear a neckwarmer or balaclava. We drove snowmobiles a lot as kids and I think my mother stopped giving us scarfs as she was afraid they would get caught-up in the track.

I think that is what it is, a neck warmer with a velcro release.
