Safety stirrups-peacock or bent leg?

As in title and reasons why please? Thanks x

Peacock are meant for children really as the lack of a full metal loop makes them not so ideal for weight carrying. However I don't know if this is more of a traditional thing as I see loads of adults with them now. I personally would never use them, even though I'm around 10st. I always use bent leg irons, never had a problem. Those people who have had probs with them tend to have had poor footware or position of their foot in the stirrup. I've never been caught up in them, even when my last horse bronced for around 20 yards, then finished it with a rear and spin!

I'd never use Peacock stirrups even for a child - I've seen too many accidents with them
Bent leg every time.

Something else.

Peacocks arent for over a certain weight limit, although I see them used.

Bent leg, I just dont feel safe with mine. Havent had an accident with them but feel a bit windy of them amd prefer not to use them.
