Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are being used more and more for entertainment and work while traveling in vehicles. However, the use of an HMD can be risky in the event of a collision if it is not removed from the head in time. This disclosure describes HMDs that are dismantled automatically from the heads of passengers in vehicles. In one embodiment, an HMD includes a display module and a mount that includes a flexible piece and a stiff piece connected by a lock. The mount attaches the display module to a passenger's head while the pieces are connected. Upon receiving an indication of an imminent collision involving the vehicle, the lock disconnects the pieces such that the flexible piece stays on the head shortly after the disconnection, and the stiff piece is removed from the head shortly after the disconnection.
