    Technically, you could remove them and it would have nearly the same effect.

      That’s not true at all.

      The bowing out wood underneath makes it look WAY more precarious to the average person. Without some sort of visual out audio cue to signal stress, often people assume that anything that stands without moving and looks intentional is secure.

      In summary, if you remove them, unobservant people will lose out on their opportunity to look upon it with fear.
