Oh yes, you'll stay on!
You really aren't away from the horse, you just need to get used to it. I am really secure in the saddle, even when big lad is bronking and spazing out in full race horse mode!

The fit on him is amazing- have you had the wow fitted to your horse?

Definitely pursue the wow. I bought one after countless problems. I was concerned about the seat too- my horse has the most horrendous buck... and buck...and buck.. and spin.. and buck!!!! I havent fallen off yet! Actually the behaviour virtually stopped immediately. Make sure the fitter is well aware of the problems and try different combinations. I would look seriously at the different panel options and question the saddle fitter thoroughly. Or ring WoW for advice.
