Would you want to be strapped to a control-panel that
goes of like Filibuster's Fireworks every time
something appens to the ship.  Those control-panels
rely on plasma (which is VERY hot) for power-transfer,
meaning there are tubes of plasma running through the
panel.  Having 50000-degree hot gas in your lap is
bad.

The robes may be closed (like the monk's cowl), in
which case they are kept in place by the rider's
weight.  They would also make it easier for the rider,
I think, by making it possible for him simply to rest
his feet (they will be hanging in the robes)
