Not even on a bet, since can just imaging them coming down as speeds, try to lean for corner and catching one of them, ending up going straight, with the sounds of bones snapping as your being tumbled for a hundred feet. or one big snap as you hit something solid like incoming car in other lane.
Hence it not the speed, but the immediate stopping of that speed that does you harm.
My take, if you need landing gear on the bike, then either time to ride lighter bike that you can hold up at light so you don't need them, maybe time for a trike, or just give up riding all together instead.

If it extends someone's riding era, and prevents bike damage, who are we to question. Not a bad idea, or concept (IMO).

Similar have been around for years. I don't think the older ones deployed. ran into a couple into their 70s each on their own goldwings pulling trailers going Alaska, again. A ride many on here couldn't do. I have not seen a set for awhile, since trikes have become more common. But the advantage is you are riding two wheels and not 3
People go to trikes when they get old, why not stay on two wheels?
