Dougie and Atilla-
even at 55lb, the lower part of the ruck bounces enough to do damage to the bones, muscles and organs (kidney, liver, and sciatic nerve are very close to the surface) that will come back to haunt you in later life.
As you progress in your training/SF career you will find that in the field keeping your 'ruck strapped tight' will help you keep your balance and keep from getting injured. Just my .02, I saw lots of guys with back and knee injuries because "it's just a short hump, I don't need to use the waist strap..." one chuck hole, one rolling branch, one scree slide where the ruck starts swinging and you can be toast.
There is a difference between smart and hard - stay smart.
