That's correct, the leverage is quite high. But this has been tested both in the lab, at one of Germany's leading test labs in a worst case scenario, offset to the front and load applied on a point way forward on the saddle. It passed even after the full fatigue test done before. Also, we have cased hard, in the real world, many, many times, wearing full lower protection. Landing on the saddle nose. With all kinds of saddle rails, steel, ti, carbon...We haven't broken a saddle or post yet. Of course something is going to happen, it's called mountainbiking...
