Is it safe to use the seat from a mountain bike on a BMX bike?

[Aaronius_Leonius]

I just got a brand new BMX bike and it's awesome but I have 2 complaints both of which are about the seat

• It's so low that it's uncomfortable and can't really be raised because it's too short
• It has no cushioning at all and hurts my butt after a few minutes

I want to use the seat from my old mountain bike but I am not sure if it's safe. I would eventually replace it with one that is more cushioned because even the seat from my old mountain bike is still not that well cushioned but it's better. Is this safe?

How would it not be safe?

 

It'll look stupid and defeats the purpose of an actual BMX, but I don't get how it could be unsafe?

Thanks. Might want to see if I can get it to a low level so it doesn't defeat the purpose because I at least want a seat that doesn't hurt

If you don't care about the seat, you can always just cut it down so it sits lower.
