Let's hope, and I mean this most sincerely, that you are never in a position where it could impale you.
I have laid a few bikes down though and it's debris involved in the crash that can do a lot of unexpected damage.
It's funny how so many of my safety worries disappear when I'm twisting the throttle!
Well, if the bike is sideways there’s no more chance of the kickstand impaling me now as when OEM, as far as I can see.
It's good, you've carried out a risk assessment and it seems fine from this distance. I'll be over here thinking about my own bike :)
