Why haven't manufacturers taken into account crashability when designing bikes?

Removeable plastic sliders integrated into the design, on the outer most regions of the bike could save thousands on repairs :angry:

I think they should be more interested in designs which help the riders survive than those that save on cost of repairs

Exactly, by selling lots of a part which has high fixed, and low variable production costs, they can ultimately get much more money out of their production..
