As Guido says, they DON'T break off, just bend and damage your frame. The frame is not what you trying to save anyway. It's not like on a inline 4 where the frame is very exposed. On a Ducati, the frame is well inboard of many other bits. If you have a faired bike a reinforced fairing at strategic places is the best in my opinion (and I've a few crashes, see race section).
