You didnt even bring a knife to this gun fight, no proof. I drew a diagram.
When sitting down while going down a hill all force is impacted on your palms (top diagram in yellow), making even the best padded grip innefective.
Though while standing most of the forces is put into downward force on the cranks or in tension on ones arms (represented in purple). Regardless of a standing positing, though a sudden impact (or constant vibration) on the front end of the bike will have all its force put onto ones hands. Therefore the need of a grip with -some- padding.
