not glue a thin layer of energy absorbing foam to each side and make

And have it hit you hard in the back of the legs under high g if you plant

He has said elsewhere, I think, that this is for placing under him.
And he could fasten the cushion down.

Always a good idea to have any necessary forward of CG ballast in front of
the pilot.

In general yes, but surely it depends entirely on the glider's weight,
balance and limits?
