I know lots of people have tried to solve this problem, and while not a complete solution and it does have some limitations, it might be something useful for relieving some of the hip pinch experienced with current soft saddle designs.
Disclaimer, I am not a professional and this is to propose my idea and have everyone poke holes in it. It was so simple I can't imagine no one else thought of it and I didn't see it anywhere else when I searched.
Add a Prussik with a biner to your tether. Create distance between your main connection and this second connection. Clip your bridge into both.
With a long enough adjustable bridge, I can still walk around the tree, and would be able to lengthen or shorten it for standing or sitting. The further the biners, the less the pinch. Also, you don't lose the ability to rotate in the saddle.
Thoughts?
