Engine failure after bike drop

There having been a lot of complaints about S3's having catastrophic engine failure after the bike has fallen on its left side caused by oil traveling through the crankcase hose into the airbox and into the cylinders. Thus, hydro-lock when the engine is started with resulting engine failure.

Any comments on the inexpensive preventive fix shown at the link below?
