I’d hate to have to try and get that thing off in an emergency!

Reckon it’ll come with a quick-release button?

Considering how dangerous an inflight ejection from a jet aircraft is, I would imagine that all connecting hoses and cables will be sheared or quick-released in some fashion, so that the helmet will continue to protect the pilot's head in an emergency ejection.
