I designed one very similar to yours.. except that my handle extends
forward more so that I have more leverage on downward pressure to prevent
lifting.

Sounds like we may be of the same school when it comes to controlling
possible kickback situations by judicious force instead of ducking. ;)
It's been a pretty comfortable design for me ... I can get a surprising
amount of leverage just by rotating my wrist downwards without moving my
hand.
