Because allowing them to ride at heavier weights doesnt solve the issue. Jocks will still flip, people who are even heavier naturally will reduce to get down to riding weight and where exactly do you draw the line? At some point the person has to make a decision on whether they are willing to do what it takes to ride racehorses or not. The sport and its rules arent the problem, people who simply are too big to ride who insist on riding are.
