It should be noted that, in earlier times, efforts were made to make broomsticks look exactly like brushwood brooms. To fly them, they were wrapped with fabric or leather, or a saddle was attached. This was done because riding on a broom without saddle is, in fact, very uncomfortable and becomes painful quickly. Modern brooms still keep that shape, but are typically only similar in appearance to brooms. Modern flying broomsticks come with saddles attached. | It should be noted that, in earlier times, efforts were made to make broomsticks look exactly like brushwood brooms.
