I see. You may be also interested in “magnetic quick release USB cables”. They are held together at one part by a magnet. A strong pull (accidental or otherwise) will disconnect it, and thus it is supposed to be less dangerous for the user and the equipment. I have never seen any such in my life, but I know they exist. > Her clumsiness doesn't reduce her charm a bit. But you do have to be > careful not to stand next to her in the kitchen.
