This saddle secures the rider to the saddle itself by means of a pair of straps that go around the thighs and hips and are fastened in place by a locking pin. Although this saddle makes it virtually impossible for the rider to lose his seat on his mount (+20 circumstance bonus to all Ride skill checks against being thrown from the mount), it makes for an extremely uncomfortable Ride if the mount is moving faster than a walk. More importantly, if the mount falls, the rider must succeed with a DC 20 Reflex save to pull the locking pin out in time to jump free.
