saw one of these yesterday ,a guy had one on his fixie..he claimed it was the best thing he'd ever tried on a long distance ride..

they look very odd .

looks like it spreads the load better when seated but it looks to me as if it might get in the way if you wanted to ride standing out of the saddle. ( but that is just my impression as I have not tried one)

Looks like something that would rob you of a bit of leg power.

I cant see how its any better than a normal saddle , thepressure points on your sit bones are going to be the same as the wobbly bits are not load bearing and as you have said the leg bits look chaffy, annoying and power robbing.

Seriously, wtf is this!

That's such a crap and barely literate web-page. Why would you have a 'censor' on a saddle?

To demonstrate that you had a censor humour?

Anyhow, from the video linked above, it looks like if the flappy underthigh bit supports weight then it will also work against the downward push of normal pedalling. Or would the upward lifting force cancel that out?

And yet the new gimmick is to remove as much of the saddle as possible. Its a complicated issue.
