How far up can I put a seatpost?

Hey folks.

So I'm trying to get my saddle up high enough - but just found that to get it high enough, it's getting quite close to the top of the seat tube. (see image below).

Is this dangerously high? I'm wondering it the lever effect of my 13 stone bunch of bones on such a small securing point might be cause for concern.



Any advice, greatly appreciated.

John
