You're supposed to get up off the seat when it gets bumpy!

One of the guys that I have ridden with a few times never gets out of his seat. He's a big guy, and aptly nicknamed "Bender", for the "bending damage" that he inflicts on his bikes (and, yeah, he crashes a lot). Anyway, the guy will, literally, take drops while seated. I cringe in pain every time I see it.
