Hi Gabriel,
This model does have a detachable pole strap - if you pull straight up on the strap with enough force, it pops out of the handle. This could help to release it in a hard crash, and does make it easily removable for descents, as you describe. The Atomic poles have a similar system, which are intended to release in the event of an impact. The Ski Trab Ortles pole would be a bit of a lighter option with an easily releasable pole strap, although this one is designed less for an emergency breakaway and more for convenience of taking the poles on and off. It would likely still break away in a very hard crash, but it might not be re-attachable afterward :)
