It is very odd how some really spectacular crashes cause minimal damage and other tip overs can be a disaster, like what happened to you.
At a minimum, I think everyone should put on crash bungs, although there are different schools of thought about that one, too. If you go to the track, track plastic does hold up better in a crash, if you get the good stuff, namely Catalyst, Sharkskinz, or Skidmarx. Some of the other manufacturers are less expensive, but don't hold up as well and don't fit as well. There is a European manufacturer making integral color track plastic, but I don't know anything about their plastic except it exists.
As a side note, the worst damage to my TT600 came when it was parked and got backed into by a pickup truck. It was a total loss for insurance purposes. I rebuilt it, and when I got picked off on the freeway about six months later, the insurance company didn't total it again, but chose to repair it. Go figure. You can never know what is going to be a big disaster and what isn't.
