I bought the Polaris Click 6 harness from the dealer when I bought my 2018 1000 XP and they installed it. I was told by others to beware because if you go on your side or upside-down, the buckle may not release. A year ago I was on a night ride and it rolled, slowly onto the passenger side. I COULD NOT RELEASE THE BUCKLE! My weight was putting pressure on the belts due to hanging in the harness. I tried to pull myself up by the roll cage to reduce pressure, but the buckle would not release. I was with others who righted me and the harness worked properly as soon as I was up righted. I then put a seatbelt cutter in it my RZR. Last month I was doing a water crossing and it rolled onto the drivers side, which completely submerged me under water. I could not get the buckle to release. I grabbed the belt cutter and as I was starting to cut the belt, a friend came over and was able to release the buckle. I immediately replaced the belts with a quick release harness. I contacted Polaris and they said the belts would have to be reinstalled on the RZR and checked by a dealer. The belts were checked a couple of years ago due to a recall. I am not going to reinstall the belts just so Polaris can say they are OK. They are NOT. Please consider being on your side, upside down, in (under) water, fire, or medical emergency and the buckle will not release. They are very comfortable, but not worth dying over. I never considered drowning in it, but this was in Moab, UT.

Wow that is ridiculous. That needs to be investigated.
Glad you made it out safe holy mackerel.

I've used the Click 6 harnesses for years now and had the opportunity to test them several times and they have worked flawlessly. I suspect release issues might be related to dirt / mud in the latch. Keep them clean and lubricated with WD40 and they work well.
I'm am glad your okay.. I've rolled mine 2 times now and had no problems releasing. I now will keep a belt cutting in my car now knowing this could happen.
Damn, glad you're ok!
Opposite issues if you wreck. My SIL and her friend took her friends ProXP out on a night ride. They hit a deep trench in one of the washes and caused their right front tire to dig in and rip off out the suspension. Their shoulder straps never tightened up from the impact and both of them hit their heads pretty hard. Luckily they were wearing helmets and their lap belts kept them in. They only suffered a mild concussion and bit their tongue a little. Swapped those out for traditional 4 point harnesses ASAP.

I may or may not have laid my previous machine gently on its side while performing a "revolutionary" maneuver....one easy press on the red button and out of the harness I came. I am not a featherweight, that buckle had some weight on it. I don't even lube mine, just wash the mud out of it after every riding weekend. Sorry to hear you had a terrible experience, definitely glad you're ok. But, I have to think that maybe there really was a defect with your harness. Mine were several years old at the time, and never lubed in 2k miles. I've never had any issues with the buckles releasing. However, your story certainly gives me pause, and I will be searching for a seatbelt cutter and mount it to the center of the car so my wife and I both can reach it.
We've never had any issues with the Click 6. Mind you, we've never hit anything at high speed. But, it's comfortable. It moves freely when we want it to. It locks up and holds us securely when rock crawling or sudden stops/jolts. And, I've tried six ways from Sunday to get the buckle to lock up under a load and it performed flawlessly. I had the same concern. I couldn't duplicate the issue.
But note, from what all I read, the Click 6 harness is made by IMMI. They're a major player in the manufacture of seat belts, child restraints, etc. They make the Click 6 for both Polaris and Kawasaki. They make the Sub Zero for Polaris and Can Am. They also make 3 and 4-point harnesses for various off-road vehicles. From the pictures, it looked like a lot of them use the same buckle as the Click 6. I couldn't find anyone else who had a similar issue.
To be clear, I'm not saying that IMMI doesn't have an issue. I hate hearing about the near miss the OP had and I'm glad to hear everyone was OK. But first, I'd take those harnesses, reach out to the dealership, if not the manufacturer, and find the root cause of why they failed. That might just save a few lives. Second, the seat belts you replace them with might be made by IMMI. They make a lot of them. So, do your research.

After around 10+ rollovers mine have released just fine every time. It seems that someone else can get you unbuckled, so it doesn’t sound like it’s the belts fault. My wife has a hard time getting hers undone just sitting in the parking lot, doesn’t mean it’s the belts fault.
Glad you’re ok
