I don't understand this preoccupation with kerbs when discussing chassis protectors (?).

They are a manufactured product to suit a demand by the people who use them. The CIK and the MSA are primarily concerned about what happens IF they break off, not WHAT directly causes them to break off. After all, it doesn't matter to the person who gets hit by one whether it was a kerb or a laser beam from a military satellite (!) that caused it to break.

An improvement to the design was made in 2009 so that the items in question were made from one piece of material and not welded.
Trev's question about disc protectors is a pertinent one: I doubt we are about to ban brake disc protectors having only just introduced them, but they are regularly scrutineered to check that they are fitted correctly and have not worn out.

I cannot think of a reason why this approach would not be satisfactory if applied to chassis protectors. It would be entirely reasonable and will hopefully be the case.
