I believe there is at least one model that automatically releases excess pressure. Would be nice if we could buy the mechanism that does than and retrofit.
I periodically squeeze-deflect a pre designated pressure test area to monitor deflection and thus pressure. Never have had overpressure while on the fly even in blazing sun, due to the counter cooling effect of water Im floating in. I mount my tubes with valves forward so I can reach for inflation/deflation on the fly if at all possible. Deflation due to overinflating before launch while underway is tricky, you have to do it with very short, quick taps.

[quote peter805]You know- I was thinking ,there sould be some kinda
pressure releave valve on main blader, just in case.
If you loose presure-no big deal just put more air in.
If you get too much presure ............................
Just thinking out load again[
