The only shock absorber I have is the foam in the seat cushion. So I
am thinking that the belly pod should be reinforced to possibly
provide some shock absorbing ability. Couldn't hurt.


Remember that parts tearing off, also removes energy. I'm not so sure that
I wouldn't design it to break away, after some reasonable stress.

Is it possible to put some closed cell Styrofoam (like cheap ice chests)
between your seat foam and the floor? That is what is in motorcycle
helmets.

I agree with your assessment that the pod up or down isn't a significant
issue. Personally, I would go with what looks best.
