Well, a howdah doesn't visually do it for me (and has never been noted before). I think under normal circumstances, the people on the back of the use their Bat Riding ability - kinda like the British Charioteers that Ceasar noted - no seatbelts, no safety harness, just a knowledge of the Bat. Okay, *maybe* safety ropes to hold/clip onto when in battle, but not much more.
