Of the injuries we have had at my events, the most serious have happened by the frame sliders catching and flipping the bike into the rider. One of them not at a high speed. Therefore, I wouldn't put them on any bike I own.

As far as tip over in a parking lot, and putting sliders on to keep your bike pretty... sliders themselves aren't ”pretty.” I'll take my chances.

If sliders aren't pretty, then neither are pegs, clipons, levers, brake lines, etc

Yep.

Flipping; the required internet response.

You can see the fairing cut-outs, when upper and lower come apart?

I don't think the bike ripping to pieces is the frame sliders fault. There are a hundred other random objects on the side of the bike to dig into the ground, including the fairings themselves.
