Regarding the pointyness of the top, it's still penny rounded, and the angle it forms is greater than 90 degrees, so it's actually safer than the standards for, say, the shoulders of a metal lorica segmentata. Most solid plate armor would have something on it that would fail a pommel test. Thing is, the point is 6'+ up in the air and aims upward.
