Broke twice, once when chest hit it, second time when rolling the sled over in powder from a stuck. This is normal mountain riding, this should not happen. OEM Polaris mountain straps take much more abuse. Some people might not break this, but I wouldn't trust it. It just broke rolling the machine over to get un-stuck. I saw another review on Dennis Kirk where it broke easily for another guy. CFR warrantied it once, TBD on follow-on times.
