Okay, I fashioned a breakaway loop lanyard in about ten minutes, using scissors and a candle (the pic sould be attached). It is comfortable, and I did not notice any rough spots touching my skin, even though I would like to smooth them out later, at least to reduce potential wear and tear. I hooked up a stop watch with a mini carabiner, and tugged away at it. It did not break though. I had to really rap on it, like cracking a whip to snap the loop holding the carabiner! So I would say it functioned as a breakaway lanyard should. Pretty cool, so far…
