Default Bear trap style pegs

So I have Joker Machine serrated pegs as mids, for highway pegs I put some bear trap style pegs. Did the same for passenger pegs, but actually have some concerns now. They look pretty cool, but they're really sharp. I usually care about my passengers and this particular mode looks potentially dangerous. What do you think?

Dangerous to you or your passenger? Can think why they would be any more dangerous than the bear trap highway pegs. Feet go on the pegs, not against them.

Highway pegs are far in front. Feet are usually on mid pegs. passenger normally has feet on passenger pegs
About a year ago I had slid across pavement for good 20 feet under the sportster - my feet was in close contact with peg all that time. It was regular peg and I had high boots - so no harm except for swollen ankle. wondering if that would be the same for sharp bear trap peg..

Is this a joke? C'mon you have to be joking right?

I think your passenger needs to wear a matching set of road bicycle racing shoes. Get the kind that has a cleat on the sole that locks into the pedal.

Riding a motorcycle is potentially dangerous. Your over thinking it.

Lol. Those are for mountain biking - no cleats for it

I used to ride bmx a lot back in the day. Those pegs are a little sharper then the primo pegs and they certaintly do offer a lot of grip.. but if your feet do come off, ouch! I've taken a couple shinners from those things and they def. Leave a little hole in your leg.
