I like my caged easy EZ Ride Stirrups for saddles without a "release".

They say.... luckily I've never had to try it or see if it even came to me 
in a moment of need.... but if you're being dragged you're supposed to try 
to roll over on your belly giving your foot a chance to slip free from the 
stirrup.
