Judging from a pic alone, yes, they look as though they'll even slip right off. I didn't know the delrin body had an O-ring inside until I opened the box. I'm not sure how much "support" is needed, or whether it is needed over the entire length or surface area you might get with the stock lig or something else comparably conventional. Is there some accepted wisdom on how much of the reed needs to be in contact with the lig? What is "support" in this context, and should one have more of the reed area pressed firmly against the table, than say, a single, narrow band such that you'd get with this lig or with an O-ring or a fat rubber band? (They work better than the stock Link lig as well ..... at least for me.) Until I tried this Bois, I assumed it best that the reed should be really "locked down" on the table. That assumption has been blown away.
I haven't done any tests other than simply practicing with my horn and it is clear that the Bois has added something desirable to the sound and response and made it easier (I feel) to blow the horn. Hey! They oughta be paying me, this sounds like an advertisement.....
