I've caught myself on it many times but haven't ripped anything.
I tried to adopt a different method of de-Jeeping ------ but sometimes I forget and I get snagged.
Just train yourself. Don't hate the Jeep; might as well hate the sky for being blue while you're at it...

It really depends on the position of the seat; no weight gain necessary.
The seats adjust up, down, back, forth, and tilt.
I'm 6'5" and 230 pounds. If I have the seat adjusted for interstate travel, the latch snags my beltloop or pocket. If I have the seat adjusted for aggressive trail riding, I don't get hung up on the thing.

...wish I had a picture of the short gal hanging by her shorts. That's a classic and a great campfire story!
