To me it would be like wearing a helmet when you ride. You're doing something stupid and dangerous for fun. If you're going to do it anyhow you can at least take steps to protect yourself. Obviously there are other precautions/factors to both of those things, but that's what came to mind. Eta: Not to take away from the serious nature of the issue... But how much would I freaking pay for a saddle that would turn red if my pony was going to try to kill me that day (via spook or whatever.)
