Our endurance race bike went down once on each side in the last MSR round, both times in/near T3, the slowest turn on the track. We're using Woodcraft rearsets. On the right side, the footpeg bent its mounting bolt, and the heel guard bent a bit (1/2" off) but was straighten-able in the vise. On the left side, the heel guard bent similarly, but it also tweaked the mounting holes in the frame. I was able to straighten the mounting holes by putting a wrench over the installed heel guard and pulling very carefully, and then able to straighten the heel guard in the vise. All in all, I think our Woodcrafts held up better than your rearsets, but making the rearsets/heel guard stronger probably means more force gets transmitted to the frame.
