I have Thin Gripsters on both Rivs, and supplement them with wide (& reflective!) velcro retention straps. The straps give me extra lateral support on long rides, I don't "pull up" on them at all. Sure, I have a few scrapes over the years, but I would not say the setup is prone to mangling my flesh... no more so that chains and sprockets are prone to shredding fingers. Maybe what helps them work for me are flat-soled shoes, no tread at all, just thin and flat.
