A frangible detent release mechanism comprising, a ring having inner and outer surfaces, radially extending arms from said outer surface that are of equal length and equally spaced about said outer surface of said ring and being made integral with said ring, and a rib integral with said ring and extending diametrically across a diameter of said ring and extending beyond said outer surface of said ring as rib ends, said radially extending arms and said rib ends being weakened relative to said ring, whereby when substantial force is applied to said ring, said ring will be broken away from said arms and said rib ends.
