Practically, disk protection during suspend-to-disk sounds very useful, given the typical usage scenario: you press button to hibernate and start shuffling around your chair/desk in preparation for leaving the room. Dropping the laptop is more likely than ever at this point. Resume-from-disk tends to be done after settling down into your chair/desk, so the drop risk is lower.
