Hmmmm. Something's wrong here. I have fallen plenty, though not since late May. It's too hot out to go offroad these days. It's ok though. With crash bars, you won't do too much damage to the bikes in a slow fall. I've only ever scratched up my crash bars and one of the spark plug coil plastic covers. The guys on ADVrider.com say the first thing you should do when you buy one is just drop it in the dealer's lot and get it overwith. It WILL happen.
