Rear crash/tipover bars?

Yes, the title mentions motocross, but at 3:06 she's riding a 2015+ BMW R1200R with 2 sets of crash bars.

Once I cleared the cache and clicked on the same link, I got this. Again note the Episode # and timestamp:

   

Using the sliders I managed to get the video "reset" so that 3:06 showed this:

From what I can see, I agree 100% with Lee - these crash bars mounted like that would snap off the passenger footpegs, which is actually the lesser of two evils. The impact would cause a force and a moment on the frame tubing to which the footpegs are attached, likely leading to permanent deflection and weakening of the frame in that location. You're better off without the crash bars and using the panniers as drop protection.
