The tripod tip can flex if you lean. This can lead to a loss of stability which is bad, but much worse if you are not prepared for it since you believe the cane will prevent it. I don't see much use for the tip, it would probably add work to your walking with the cane, more resistance to moving it. A lot like the difference between walking on carpet or tile. Carpet takes a lot more work just picking your feet up while walking.
