They will stop another vehicle (ATV or other) from smashing your leg. Or power slide into a tree. Also good to prevent your foot from coming off the pegs and under the back tire. Nice place to rest your feet during a cruise and at a rest stop.

Get the nerfs, peace of mind is a great thing.

They aren't really, but if you even think your foot will come off the peg while riding, it's a very worthwhile investment. When the foot comes off and slips under the rear tire, it can pull you off. If you're not going to get nerfs, make sure you get a very good pair of boots. It'll save your ankles a lot of pain.
