    Take a fishing rod and suspend it across the shoulders of two
    friends then flex the center up and down for a few minutes to
    represent riding.

*Marv, I am not sure your analogy is applicable in this case for
many reasons.
1. Flexible panel saddles do not have a panel as skinny and narrow
as a fishing rod! They are designed to maximize the size of the
weight bearing area of the saddle;and most have designed the
panels with delrin inside and layers of foam and other materials
to distribute weight along the contact area of the panel. 2. Not all flexible panel saddles have the tree suspended above
the panel by two contact points on each side. For example,
Reactor Panel saddles start with a tree that fits the horse's back
by measurements in the angles of the front tree points, and
contours of the back. In the mid back area, the tree is resting on
the panels; it is not suspended. The shock-absorbing discs are
front and back of this area to allow for the movement of the
shoulder and
loin....
