Default Hugging the bike with Engine Guards

OK Guys, I am told by my Father-in-law that I should get engine guards because if you wipe out you can hug the bike with your legs and avoid scraping yourself on the ground. He says he has done this and in fact has spun in circles on the ground hugging the bike.
I CANNOT even imagine having the state of mind to do that if you fall!!!
Has this ever happened to any of you or is he just full of %#@*
