Good question, but my thinking is that of the peg stayed on the bike it might help keep the rest of it a bit further off the deck. The peg snapped clean off the moment it hit, so provided little protection from then on which resulted in the brake peg busting off too. I think if the peg had stayed there it would have saved the brake.
Plus, with a folding peg, I simply need to snap it back into position and I could carry on, rather than having to carry a bag load of spare pegs and keep changing them when they bust off.
