Wait, that pretty much describes the modern human race never mind.

When jiggles says high speed im pretty sure he means highway speeds or more (track). When you go down at those speeds your more than likely going to be totaling the bike out anyway, so its no big deal. But for most people who tend to go down from the sitting still to the 30-40 mph lowsides, the frame sliders do their job quite well. My gf lowsided at about 20mph and the sliders took most of the impact. Her fairings still have some scuffs, but it would be have been a lot worse without them.
I have a set of shoguns on my shelf waiting for me to not be lazy. I will put them on soon enough and take them off when i go to the track. The main thought is that on the track if you low side your bike will generally just keep sliding away, with frame sliders it has a chance to dig into the grass/dirt and flip the bike.
