I'd never heard of engine bars being used as a *rider* protection mechanism. I'll probably get some for my Ninja to protect the bike from me!

There's engine bars for your engine only.

There's highway bars that are for your engine and your legs. In case you slide down the pavement there is a chance your leg will not take all the weight or get trapped.

Crash bars are the older name for what is now called highway bars.
