Saddlebag guards?

Saddlebag guards?
My neighbor told me his 2008 Ultra fell over in his driveway.
I told him I wouldn't think it would have caused much damage since it has the engine and saddlebag guards.
He said it broke the fiberglass on the lid. He had it fixed and repainted.
I went over and looked at it and thought HD could have made the bag guards a little different, so they might protect the bags better, in a easy type fall over.
I have read numerous posts about baggers falling over and not suffering any damage, because of the guards.
Are there other members that have suffered bag damage from a fairly easy tip over, or was he just unlucky.
Is there a reason they aren't designed different, to protect better?

Easy drops... yup... catch this one... on the Dragon!!! Nothing but some scratches on the guards. Wish I could extend the bags and the guards! I love the look of the stretched bags with the pipes going through the bag. Will post when I figure it out![IMG]file:///Users/jcbpa/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-6.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///Users/jcbpa/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-4.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///Users/jcbpa/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-5.png[/IMG]

I don't recall if he said fiberglass, when he said that he had to have the bag lid repaired and painted. I probably just assumed that is what they were.
He said it tore it up . He had to have it patched up and then repainted. He brought it to a body shop and they fixed it for $300.
A lot of responses saying they had no body damage, because of the guards. So I guess he was just unlucky.
