1. A striker mechanism comprising:
a housing having a first surface;
a slider movably disposed in the housing, the slider having one of a projection and a concavity, the slider further having a second surface, the first surface and the second surface defining an opening configured to receive a lanyard;
a striker mass movably disposed relative to the housing, the striker mass having an other of the projection and the concavity, the striker mass having a striker tip; and
a spring for biasing the striker tip in a first direction relative to the housing;
wherein the slider and striker mass are configured such that:
when the lanyard moves the slider within a first range of motion, the projection engages with the concavity to move the striker mass in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and
when the lanyard moves the slider within a second range of motion, greater than the first range of motion, the projection disengages from the concavity allowing the striker mass to move in the first direction by a biasing force of the spring.
