Every fall is different, you just don't know. Again, it's all about odds. Very few safety items are going to protect you 100%. It's like the seat belt. Most of the time it's going to save your life, but you are putting yourself in a dangerous situation when you get behind the wheel. Same thing with a helmet and wakeboarding. Modifying a peice of safety equipment is a whole other subject, and should be left to the engineers with the proper training and resorces. I certainly won't be modifying mine, but that should'nt stop you if that's what you decide. Good luck with it.
