I agree with that 100%.
In addition to possibly minimizing rider injury, it can also minimize the damage on a 0 speed drop......depending on the design of the guard.
I have "rediscovered" something I had forgotten with my "other" bike though. That is, watch out for curbs when rounding corners. I don't think it would be a problem with the GZ due to the shape of the guard but on the Shadow it would be very easy to catch the crash guard on a curb if you cut a corner too close. That could result in a NASTY crash.
