It's an idea but how would you implement such a thing ?

escrow services ?

The exchanges would just shut down automatically given a sharp change in price.  No funds or bitcoins would be able to be moved during the shutdown.

+1 agree.
they should also transfer bitcoins out to a offline wallet, and only hold 1000btc in the online wallet, ready to cashout.

After any unusual drop or rise in value, a circuit breaker must be implemented.  Some may say this is not free market.  I disagree.  It is only a pause in the action to allow the exchange to overview security and verify the legitimacy of what is going on.
