I don't know about carriage straps, but karabiners (I don't know if
that's any better a spelling!) are "hook like" which I don't think is
the thing he's looking for as, whilst they can be undone whilst under
load, require the load to be lifted before they can be removed..
I believe he's looking for "panic snaps" which have a locking bar that
can be slid back to allow the clip to unlatch even while someone's
weight is on it.

come with a screw fitting which enables u to screw it in, but this could be
replaced with a metal cylinder

My mate has some really ace ones that are hellishly difficult to
describe, but could* be undone very quickly in an emergency.
Better than the pin ones described later in this thread.
He got them at the Brum BBB, but I can't remember the stall name.
I'll try and describe them anyway... They have like a hook thingy that
is held in place very securely, but when you press ths side thing in
the hook pings out.

and if you want me to persue it any more with my mate, feel free to
email me.

The decent ones are a nautical item called snap shackles. Mailspeed
Marine in Warrington have a good selection. There's some recent debate
whether releasing under load is a good idea, for full suspension,
rather than lowering quickly in a controlled way. No reason why the
main suspension point should be a controlled quick lowering type and
secondary points can be quick release.

If you are prepared to pay, Capewell fasteners are the thing. Contact
your local parachuting club (Yellow Pages). You may need to acquire a
time expired chute, but that comes with lots of string and straps
already attached.
Capewells will release quite easily with full body weight on them, but
are expensive. They are also relatively bulky, metal and in the fray,
can hurt if you get hit by the flying end.
A cheaper and pretty reliable instant release can be made by using a
jamming cleat so long as the bindings include a sturdy structure.
Jamming cleats are easily made, if you're not prepared to pay a few
pounds to a boat chandlers. They are very unobtrusive, permanently
fitted to a bed. (They stop the mattress slipping, dear.)
They can be just very sturdy plastic tubes which can be attached to a
frame with screws or bolts. The tube has a tapered slot cut into the top
along a third of its length.
The rope under load passes through the tube, pulled as tight as you
wish, then simply bent back on itself, into the slot. The narrowing slot
in the tube grips the rope, very securely with virtually no loss of
tension.
To release the rope simply grasp the loose end and firmly pull it
straight, out of the slot. No knots, no unintended jamming, instant
release.
And as it is part of a structure, (bed?) proper assembly ensures
symmetrical, even tension, every time.

i have realised that i already own a fast release mechanism...its called a
knife(grin).
on the other hand, slow release is good too, over days if one wishes(wider
grin).

The problem with these is that it can be very difficult to unscrew the
pin when it's got someone's weight on it and even if you manage to get
the pin half way out it's liable to bend or jam on the other end as
all the weight gets transferred to it.

They're called D shackles and are not intended to be released under
load, although they can be, hence the jamming.
